WORK AND STUDY MANAGEMENT Flashcards
QUIZ 1
is defined as that body of knowledge concerned with the analysis of the work methods and the equipment used in performing a job, the design of an optimum work method and the standardization of proposed work methods.
Work study
OBJECTIVES OF WORK STUDY
To analyze the present method of doing a job, To measure the work content of a job, To increase the productivity by ensuring the best possible use of human, machine and material resources, To improve operational efficiency
is also understood as a systematic objective and critical examination of the factors affecting productivity for the purpose of improvement. It make use of techniques of method study and work measurement to ensure the best possible use of human and material resources in carrying out specific activity.
Work Study
Output (produced goods or services) over input (resources)
Productivity
Use of lowest amount of input to achieve greatest amount of output
Efficiency
BASIC WORK STUDY PROCEDURE
SELECT job or process to be studied
RECORD the relevant facts using charting techniques
EXAMINE the recorded facts: purpose place, person sequence, means of doing the job
DEVELOP new job method
MEASURE work content and establish standard time
DEFINE the new method for the job or process
INSTALL the new method as standard practice
MAINTAIN the new method for the job or process
BENEFITS OF WORK STUDY

Who developed Time Study
Frederick W. Taylor
He is generally conceded as the founder of modern time study.
Frederick W. Taylor
Regarded as the “Father of Scientific Management”
Frederick W. Taylor
Popular for his “one best way” principle
Frederick W. Taylor
Founders of the modern motion study techniques.
Frank and Lilian Gilbreths
Famous for “therbligs”.
Frank and Lilian Gilbreths
Emphasizes that to improve an operation, one must be able to eliminate unnecessary motions, simplify motions, and establish the most favorable motion sequence for maximum efficiency.
Frank and Lilian Gilbreths
These are 18 kinds of elemental motions used in the study of motion economy in the workplace.
Therbligs
is a scientific technique of observing, recording and critically examining the present method of performing a task or an operation.
Work Methods analysis or method study
is a technique applied to determine the amount of time necessary for a qualified worker to perform a particular task.
Work Measurement
“one who is accepted as having the necessary physical attributes, possessing the required intelligence and education and having acquired the necessary skill and knowledge to carry out the work in hand to satisfactory standards of safety, quantity and quality”.
