How long does the job take? Arguably, this is the most valuable
fact for a business to know because it determines capacity,
productivity, profit or loss. Both direct and indirect labor costs
rely on the required time, as do output, crew sizes, staffing,
schedules, product cost, transfer prices, constraints, workload
balance, on and on. Let's also suggest that the answer must be both
accurate and objective. Time study is the basis of accuracy for
management measurement, and is applied to resolve disagreement
should they occur. Chapters include: Operating practice for labor
operations Benefits of work measurement, Which measurement
technique? Employee incentive pay If you only read one work
measurement The art of the time study The art of work sampling The
special case of construction piece rates Other important aspects of
work measurement A model plan to establish work measurement Formal
incentives administration Methods and workplace checklists for
improvement Work measurement glossary Useful forms and worksheets
An extra section on Capacity, Utilization and Constraints is
included, to enable the reader to identify and relieve bottlenecks
in the first place, then to manage constraints. Capacity activity
depends very heavily on work measurement, to locate causes and
relieve them. Chapters include: Capacity, utilization, constraints;
in the context of business operations Manage constraints, by
boardroom and policy actions Operating factors affect utilization
Maximize capacity, manage constraints, on the floor Apply the
capacity, constraint, and utilization data As with other
professions, work measurement proficiency is gained through
training and experience. This book explains very specifically what
to do, why it is necessary, and how to do it; not only study
techniques themselves, but also management and control actions to
implement work measurement. Buy it for both practitioners and
managers, as each will learn from the guidance contained. The text
of this book is included in "Industrial Engineering: Theory,
Practice, and Application," by Jack Greene, as are texts of "Cost
Reduction In Business Management" and "Plant Layout and Design
Edition Two."
