Sobre este producto

This is not a typical college textbook. This book focuses on the knowledge and skills that an engineer needs to know in order to correctly and successfully apply the concepts of motion study and time study to the jobs at his or her company. In each chapter the topics are explained in a conversational manner and a college degree in engineering is not necessary to be able to understand and master the skills presented in this book. Technical words and engineering terms are carefully explained using simple words. Practical examples are used to demonstrate how to apply each of the concepts presented in this book. Each topic is explained in a way that illustrates how the technique could be used to make a good engineering decision or a good management decision about a job that is currently being evaluated. This book explains how to use work measurement concepts to create realistic time standards for almost any type of job. This book also clearly explains how to enhance jobs through the strategic application of ergonomics and human factors engineering. Motion economy principles are explained and discussed in detail to illustrate how they can be used to simplify jobs, improve quality, increase production, and enhance employee satisfaction. The work measurement techniques discussed in this book could be used by almost anyone to help his or her organization become more efficient and more profitable. For example, a manager, production supervisor, or an engineer could benefit from reading this book. This includes mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, chemical engineers, management engineers, manufacturing engineers, industrial engineers, systems engineers, and anyone else whose job requires them to analyze the work of some company employees but who does not have an intimate knowledge of work measurement procedures. This book includes a condensed explanation of basic statistics, learning curves, job analysis, ergonomics, human factors engineering, motion study, personal fatigue and delay allowances, performance rating, time study, work sampling, predetermined motion time systems, costing methods, and how to create an engineered standard time for a new job. The author has taught college courses in all of the preceding topics at either the undergraduate or graduate level from 1984 to 2019. From 1982 to 2019 the author has also done industrial engineering consulting work for dozens of organizations such as: Alemite Corp., Amoco, Anheuser-Busch, Bartow County Bank, Boeing Commercial Aircraft, Ciba-Vision, Consolidated Groceries, Delta Airlines, Equifax, EMS Inc., FedEx, General Motors, Georgia Marble, Georgia Power, Heatlhcare Atlanta, Herman Miller Furniture, Home Depot, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, Marta, Motorola, Nationwide Credit, Porex, Scientific Atlanta, Scovill Fasteners, Siemens, Southern Mills, Southwire, U.S. Can, U.S. Navy, Wayne Farms, and ZF Industries. This book discusses the concept in each chapter from a traditional perspective without relying on computer software. After you understand how these concepts actually work and when they should be used, then it is not too difficult to learn how to use a software program that will generate the answers for you. However, since software programs are updated and changed every two or three years, this book does not recommend or explain how to use specific software programs.
