Description
KEY BENEFIT: Divided into two major areas of discussion ? work systems, and work methods, measurement, and management ? this guide provides up-to-date, quantitative coverage of work systems and how work is analyzed and designed.
KEY TOPICS: Includes 30 chapters organized into six parts: Work Systems and How They Work; Methods Engineering and Layout Planning; Time Study and Work Measurement; New Approaches in Process Improvement and Work Management; Ergonomics and Human Factors in the Workplace, and Traditional Topics in Work Management. Addresses the ?systems? by which work is accomplished, such as worker-machine systems, manufacturing cells, assembly lines, projects, and office work pools. Summarizes many aspects of work systems, operations analysis, and work measurement using mathematical equations and quantitative examples.
KEY MARKET: For professionals in the area of industrial engineering.
