INTRODUCTION Flashcards
(40 cards)
The body of
knowledge concerned with the analysis
of the work methods and the equipment
used in performing a job; the design of
the optimum work method, and; the
standardization of proposed work methods.
Work Study
Measure the work content of a job by
measuring the time required to do the job
for a ____________ and hence to
establish standard time.
qualified worker
Analyze the present method of doing a job,
_________ in order to develop a new
and better method
systematically
Increase the productivity by ensuring the
best possible use of human, machine, and
material resources.
Operational Efficiency
Achieve best __________ at
_____________.
quality product or service; minimum possible cost
Fit the work and workstation __________
to the workers
ergonomically
The application of
techniques to establish the work content of
a specified task by determining the time
required for carrying out the task at a
defined standard of performance by a
qualified worker.
Work Measurement
The only way a business or enterprise
can grow and increase its profitability is by
________________.
increasing its productivity
Refers to the
increase in output per work-hour or time
expended.
Productivity Improvement
Basic Formula of Productivity
Productivity = Output / Input
The fundamental tools that result in
increased productivity are:
a) Methods;
b) Time study standards; and
c) Work Design
The Heart of The Industry
Production Section
If the activities of this section is
interrupted, the whole industry ceases to be
productive.
This department includes methods
engineering, time study standards, and
work design activity.
Production Section
Includes designing,
creating, and selecting the best manufacturing methods, processes, tools,
equipment, and skills to manufacture a
product based on the working drawings
that have been developed by the product
engineering section.
Methods Engineering
When the best method interfaces with
the best skills available, _______________ exists.
efficient worker-machine relationship
In most cases, this refers to productivity
improvement.
Methods Engineering
Responsible for designing and developing
the various work centers where the product
will be produced
Methods Engineer
Must continually restudy the work centers to
find a better way to produce the product
and/or improve its quality.
Methods Engineer
The more thorough the methods study
during the planning stages, the ____ the
necessity for additional methods studies
during the life of the product.
less

leading to new technology is essential to
methods engineering.
Research and Development (R&D)
These countries are among the leaders
in productivity.
US, China, Japan, Germany, South Korea, UK, France, Taiwan, Russia, and Turkey
Country with the highest R&D
expenditures per worker (UNIDO).
United States
Use a systematic
procedure to develop a work center,
produce a product, or provide a service.
