The “New” Workplace
• Worker empowerment that provides employees with authority to make decisions pertaining to the organization.
– Those workers who do the work know best how to achieve efficiency and quality in their work.
• Work performance standards are necessary in determining labor costs, setting manpower levels, and in identifying workers whose contributions are to be recognized and properly rewarded.

Job Design
• Issues in Job Design– Quality as part of the worker’s job.– Cross-training workers for multi-skilled jobs.– Employee involvement and team approaches
to designing and organizing work.– “Informating” ordinary workers through
telecommunications network and computers.– Any time, any place production.– Automation of heavy manual work.– Organizational commitment to providing.
meaningful and rewarding jobs for employees.

Job Design (cont’d)
• Job Design
–Tasks and sequences that have to be accomplished and are within an individual’s job assignment.
• Micromotion: the smallest work activity.
• Element: two or more micromotions.
• Task: two or more elements that comprise a complete activity.
• Job: A set of all the tasks that must be performed by a worker.

Behavioral Considerations in Job Design
• Degree of Labor Specialization–Dividing tasks into small increments of work, resulting in efficient operations due to highly repetitive tasks.
–Job Enlargement (Horizontal Enlargement)• Redesigning a job, usually by increasing the number
of tasks, to make it more interesting.–Job Enrichment
• Broadening a job description to include both more tasks and greater worker involvement in the planning and design of the work to be done.

Physical Considerations in Job Design
• Work Task Continuum–Manual tasks
• Put stress on large muscle groups, causing fatigue.–Motor tasks
• Involve speed and precision in physical movements.–Mental tasks
• Involve rapid decision making base on certain types of stimuli.

Work Methods
• Studying the production system to:
–Identify non-valued-added time delays, transport distances, process and processing time requirements
–Simplify the entire operation by eliminating any step that does not add value to the product.

Gilbreth’s Principles of Motion Economy
• Using the human body the way it works best:1. The work should be arranged to provide a
natural rhythm that can become automatic.2. The symmetrical nature of the body should be
considered:a. The motions of arms should be simultaneous,
beginning and completing their motions at the same time.
b. Motions of the arms should be opposite and symmetrical.

Gilbreth’s Principles of Motion Economy (cont’d)• Using the human body the way it works best:
3. The human body is an ultimate machine and its full capabilities should be employed:a. Neither hand should ever be idle.
b. Work should be distributed to other parts of the body in line with their ability.
c. The safe design limits of the body should be observed.
d. The human should be employed at its highest use.

Gilbreth’s Principles… (cont’d)• Arranging the workplace to assist performance:
– There should be a definite place for all tools and materials.– Tools, materials, and controls should be located close to the
point of use.– Tools, materials, and controls should be located to permit
the best sequence and path of motions.
• Using mechanical devices to reduce human effort:– Vises and clamps can hold the work precisely where needed.– Guides can assist in positioning the work without close
operator attention.– Controls and foot-operated devices can relieve the hands of
work.– Mechanical devices can multiply human abilities.– Mechanical systems should be fitted to human use.

Worker-Machine Chart for a Gourmet Coffee Store
Exhibit S8.8 (cont’d)
The customer, the clerk, and the coffee grinder (machine) are involved in this operation. It required 1 minute and 10 seconds for the customer to purchase a pound of coffee in this particular store. During this time the customer spent 22 seconds, or 31 percent of the time, giving the clerk his order, receiving the ground coffee, and paying the clerk for it. He was idle during the remaining 69 percent of the time. The clerk worked 49 seconds, or 70 percent of the time, and was idle 21 seconds, or 30 percent of the time. The coffee grinder was in operation 21 seconds, or 30 percent of the time, and was idle 70 percent of the time.

Work Measurement
• Work Measurement–The methodology used for establishing time standards.
• Basic Industrial Engineering Methods–Time study–Elemental standard time data–Predetermined motion-time data–Work sampling

Time Study
• Time Study–The determination, with the use of a stopwatch, of how long it takes to complete a task or set of tasks.
–Normal time = Observed performance time per unit x Performance rating
–Piece rate is the rate paid for work completed.–Break down tasks by:
• Conducting an overall methods analysis• Defining each work element to be timed.• Separating human work from machine work.• Defining operator and machine delays separately.

Elemental Standard-Time Data
• Time Standard–The established time for completing a job, used in determining labor costs for making a product.
–Steps
• Breakdown the new job into its elements
• Match elements to the time for similar job-specific elements in the elemental table.
• Adjust elements for special characteristics of the job.
• Add element times together and add delay and fatigue allowances.

Predetermined Motion-Time Data
• Predetermined Motion-Time Tables
–Create a time standard for a job or task based on standard times for basic motions (therbligs).
–Can be applied to a wide-variety of tasks.

Work Sampling
• Work Sampling–A statistical technique for estimating how workers allocate their time among various activities throughout a workday.
–Issues involved:• What level of statistical confidence is desired in the
results?• How many observations are necessary?• When should the observations be made?

• Determining the Required Number of Samples:

N = Number of observations to be made
Z = Number of standard deviations associated with a given confidence level
p = Estimated proportion of time that the activitybeing measured occurs
E = Absolute error that is desired

Work Sampling (cont’d)
• Steps in Conducting a Work Sampling Study:–Identify the activities for study.
–Estimate the proportion of time of the activity of interest to the total time.
–State the desired accuracy in the study results.
–Determine the specific time when each observation is to be made.
–If using an estimated time, recompute the required samples size at intervals during the study and adjust the number of observations.
