WORK STUDY
INTRODUCTION

WITH INCREASING COMPLEXITIES OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD,
NEED TO SIMPLIFY THE WORK SYSTEM HAS BEEN INCREASING DAY
BY DAY.

WORK STUDY IS AN AREA OF KNOWLEDGE THAT ADDRESSES THE
PROBLEM OF WORK SIMPLIFICATION WITH THE BASIC OBJECTIVES OF

PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT,
HUMAN COMFORT & SAFETY



IMPORTANCE:-


ENHANCING THE PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY OF THE FIRM.
TECHNIQUE TO IDENTIFY NON-VALUE OPERATIONS.
ONLY ACCURATE AND SYSTEMATIC PROCEDURE ORIENTED
TECHNIQUE.
HAS GOT UNIVERSAL APPLICATION.

DEFINITION


WORK STUDY 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.

PREREQUISITES FOR CONDUCTING WORK STUDY

WORK STUDY
METHOD STUDY
Motion Study : Examine the
job and finding more
efficient method to
perform it
WORK MEASUREMENT
Time Study : Determine the
time necessary to perform
a job and its elements
COMPONENTS /
TECHNIQUES OF WORK STUDY

PRINCIPLES OF WORK STUDY


1. MUST COME FROM THE TOP LEVEL MANAGEMENT.
2. PEOPLE MADE AWARE OF THE OBJECTIVES AND THE NEED OF THE
EXERCISING SUCH STUDY.
3. METHOD STUDY MUST PRECEDE WORK MEASUREMENT .


OBJECTIVES


TO ANALYZE THE PRESENT METHOD OF DOING A JOB, SYSTEMATICALLY IN ORDER
TO DEVELOP A NEW AND BETTER METHOD.
TO MEASURE THE WORK CONTENT OF A JOB BY MEASURING THE TIME REQUIRED TO
DO THE JOB FOR A QUALIFIED WORKER AND HENCE TO ESTABLISH STANDARD TIME.
TO INCREASE THE PRODUCTIVITY BY ENSURING THE BEST POSSIBLE USE OF HUMAN,
MACHINE AND MATERIAL RESOURCES AND TO ACHIEVE BEST QUALITY
PRODUCT/SERVICE AT MINIMUM POSSIBLE COST.
TO IMPROVE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY.
TO REDUCE WASTE THROUGH STANDARDIZATION OF WORK ELEMENTS OF A JOB.
TO IMPROVE LABOR EFFICIENCY.

BENEFITS OF WORK STUDY


INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY AND OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
REDUCED MANUFACTURING COSTS
IMPROVED WORK PLACE LAYOUT
BETTER MANPOWER PLANNING AND CAPACITY PLANNING
FAIR WAGES TO EMPLOYEES
BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS TO EMPLOYEES
IMPROVED WORK FLOW
REDUCED MATERIAL HANDLING COSTS
PROVIDES A STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE TO MEASURE LABOUR EFFICIENCY
BETTER INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS AND EMPLOYEE MORALE
BASIS FOR SOUND INCENTIVE SCHEME
PROVIDES BETTER JOB SATISFACTION TO EMPLOYEES



STEPS INVOLVED IN WORK STUDY













1. SELECT
Job Or Process To Be Studied
2. RECORD
All the details concerning job using various Recording Techniques
3. EXAMINE
Recorded facts critically by asking questions like who, what, when, why
4. DEVELOP
Most economical method
5. MEASURE
The amount of work involved and set standard time to do that job
6. DEFINE
New method and standard time
7. INSTALL
The new method as a standard practice
8. MAINTAIN
New method as agreed standards
ADVANTAGES OF METHOD STUDY


WORK SIMPLIFICATION
IMPROVED WORKING METHOD ( CHEAPER METHOD)
BETTER PRODUCT QUALITY
IMPROVED WORK PLACE LAYOUT
IMPROVED EQUIPMENT DESIGN
BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS





ADVANTAGES OF METHOD STUDY

WORK MEASUREMENT
DEFINATION :-

THE APPLICATION OF TECHNIQUES DESIGNED TO ESTABLISH THE
TIME FOR A QUALIFIED WORKER TO CARRY OUT A SPECIFIED JOB AT
A DEFINED LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE


OBJECTIVES OF WORK MEASUREMENT :-
1. COMPARING ALTERNATIVE METHODS
2. ASSESSING THE CORRECT INITIAL MANNING (MANPOWER REQUIREMENT PLANNING)
3. PLANNING AND CONTROL
4. REALISTIC COSTING
5. DELIVERY DATE OF PLANNING
6. COST REDUCTION AND COST CONTROL
7. IDENTIFYING SUBSTANDARD WORKERS
8. TRAINING NEW EMPLOYEES.

TECHNIQUES OF WORK MEASUREMENT :-
1) REPETITIVE WORK:- THE TYPE OF WORK IN WHICH THE MAIN OPERATION OR GROUP OF OPERATIONS REPEAT
CONTINUOUSLY DURING THE TIME SPENT AT THE JOB. THESE APPLY TO WORK CYCLE OF EXTREMELY SHORT DURATION.
2) NON-REPETITIVE WORK:- IT INCLUDE SOME TYPE OF MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION WORK, WHERE CYCLE
ITSELF IS HARDLY EVER REPEATED IDENTICALLY.

VARIOUS TECHNIQUES:-
1)TIME STUDY
2) SYNTHESIS
3) WORK SAMPLING
4) ANALYTICAL ESTIMATION
5)PREDETERMINED MOTION AND TIME STUDY.


TIME STUDY
TIME STUDY IS WORK MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE FOR RECORDING THE TIMES AND RATES OF
WORKING FOR THE ELEMENTS OF A SPECIFIED JOB CARRIED OUT UNDER SPECIFIED UNDER
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS
