This course introduces the fundamental techniques of work analysis and design. Students will learn about methods engineering, focusing on work measurement techniques such as stop-watch time studies and predetermined motion time systems. The objective is to equip students with the skills to improve work methods and calculate standard times for manual tasks.
Curriculum
The course covers a range of topics related to motion and time study, including productivity, the history and problem-solving process, work methods design, and various charting techniques. It delves into micromotion study, principles of motion economy, and different methods of time study, including work sampling and predetermined time systems. The impact of fatigue and human factors on work is also discussed.
