Chapter 1 Methods, Standards, and Work Design: Introduction
Questions
The principle objective of methods engineering is to improve productivity and decrease the unit cost
of output while maintaining the health and safety of the worker.
The eight steps of methods engineering are: 1) select the project, 2) get and present the data, 3)
analyze the data, 4) develop the ideal method, 5) present and install the method, 6) develop a job
analysis, 7) establish time standards, 8) follow up the method.
4. Where were time studies originally made and who conducted them?
The principles of scientific management included: time study, standardization of all tools and tasks,
use of a planning department, use of slide rules and other time saving implements, instruction cards
for workers, bonuses for successful performance, differential rates, mnemonic systems classifying
products, routing systems and modern costs systems.
6. What is meant by motion study, and who are the founders of the motion study technique?
Motion study is the study of body motions used in performing an operation, with the thought of
improving the operation by eliminating unnecessary motions and simplifying necessary motions, and
then establishing the most favorable motion sequence. Frank and Lilian Gilbreth are considered the
founders of motion study.
7. Was the skepticism of management and labor toward rates established by „efficiency experts‟
understandable? Why or why not?
Yes, many unqualified analysts endeavored to establish standards. The results, in some instance,
were quite unsatisfactory giving the profession a poor image.
8. Which organizations are concerned with advancing the ideas of Taylor and the Gilbreths?
The American Management Association, The Society for the Advancement of Management, and The
Institute of Industrial Engineers are concerned with promoting the ideas of Taylor and the Gilbreths.

9. What psychological reaction is characteristic of workers when methods changes are suggested?
Resistance to change is very common in workers when methods changes are suggested.
10. Explain the importance of the humanistic approach in methods and time study work.
The humanistic approach must be followed in order to help assure the success of methods and
standards work. Regardless of the analyst’s technical knowledge and ability, the analyst will not be
completely successful in methods and time study work unless the analyst is competent in dealing
with the operators as humans rather than as another element in the assembly line.
Time study should not be undertaken until a good method has been developed and installed.
Work design is an important element of methods study, because if the methods changes are
inefficient or even injurious to the operators, any productivity improvements will be negated by
increased medical and safety costs.
13. What important events have contributed to the need for ergonomics?
The technological disasters at Three-Mile Island and Bhopal, India as wells as the increase in product
liability and personal injury cases have contributed to a need for ergonomics. More recently, the
rather dramatic increases in work-related musculoskeletal injuries also emphasizes for balancing the
push for productivity with the inclusion of ergonomics.
