    Unit - Ii: Work Study, Method Study & Work Measurement

    Uploaded by

    III- Year Mechanical Engineering
    The document discusses work study, method study, and work measurement. It defines work study as investigating methods of performing work (method study) and the time taken to do work (work measurement). Method study is the technique of systematically analyzing existing and proposed work methods to develop easier and more cost-effective approaches. The key objectives of method study are improvement and reduction. The procedure for method study involves selecting a work process, recording the current process, examining it for improvements, developing better methods, defining the new method, installing it, and maintaining it. Charts and diagrams are used in method studies to visualize work flows and sequences.

    UNIT – II

    WORK STUDY, METHOD STUDY & WORK MEASUREMENT


    WORK STUDY

     Work Study is a generic term for management


    services and system engineering techniques, used to
    investigate:

    – Methods of performing work (Method Study).

    – The time taken to do it (Work Measurement).


     Production – converting raw material into
    finished goods
     Productivity = Output / Input

    Where,
    Input may be men, machine, material, method,
    market, etc.
    Output may be product or service.
    Production and Standard of living

     Food
     Cloth
     Shelter
     Security
     Hygiene
     Education
     Services
    Means of increasing Productivity
     Improved working conditions
     Improved working methods
     Reduction of non productive time
     Proper motivation
     Proper maintenance of machines
     Proper production planning and control
     Proper material control
     Training of workers
     Modernization of plant & equipment
     Safety
    Importance of Work study
    1. By method study
     Working condition
     Work content is reduced
     Workers efficiency is increased
     Plant layout is increased
    2. By work measurement
     Ineffective time is reduced
     Production time is standarised
    Importance of Working condition
     Lighting and ventilation
     Temperature and ventilation
     Safety and healthy
     Layout and house keeping
     Noise and vibration
     Ergonomics
    METHOD STUDY

     Method study is the technique of systematic


    recording and critical examination of existing and
    proposed ways of doing work and developing an
    easier and economical method.
