This document summarizes a paper about using work measurement techniques to improve productivity in a heavy machine shop. The paper aims to study machine shop operations at an elemental level to reduce cycle times, balance processes, and eliminate non-value added elements. By removing unnecessary process steps and optimizing cycle times, the study was able to reduce backlogs and improve productivity by 35% without additional resource investment. The work measurement approach effectively evaluated worker performance and identified the best ways to increase productivity by eliminating ineffective efforts.
