Important Techniques of Work Study.

 Question : Explain in brief two important techniques of Work Study. (Summer 2005) 


Scientific work study involves the measurement and improvement of work. Scientific work study includes:

(i) Method Study : This study involves the critical examination of plan layout, product design, material handling and work processes, to minimize time, distance and cost involved in the transportation and storage of materials.

(ii) Motion Study : It refers to the study of the movement of an operator or a machine involved in a task with a view to eliminate un-worked or useless motions. Motion study helps to find the best method of doing work. Gilbreth identified 17 basic motions involved in every human operation. These are Search, select, grasp, transport empty, transport loaded, hold, release load, position, proposition, inspect, assembly, disassemble, use, unavoidable delay, avoidable delay, plan and rest for overcoming fatigue. Symbolically SH, ST, G, TE, TL, H, RL, P, PP, I, A, DA, U, UD, AD, Pn & R (17).

(iii) Time Study : It implies the study of time taken to perform each operation of a job in order to find out the proper time that should be taken in doing a job.

(iv) Fatigue Study : It implies provision of rest hours after a set time interval. During the rest the worker can recoup (recover) his energy.

Delegation is neither decentralization nor are their purpose the same.

Delegation is a process, while decentralisation is the end result of delegation and dispersal of authority. Delegation mainly refers to the granting of authority and the creation of responsibility as between the individual and superiors whereas decentralisation is the situation which exists as a result of the systematic delegation of authority throughout the organisation. In delegation, a superior continues to be responsible for the work delegated to his subordinates, while in decentralisation the superior is relieved from his responsibility for the work decentralised and the subordinate become liable for that. Delegation is vital and essential to the management process. Only through delegation, subordinates can be involved in the organisation and the management can get things done. Decentralized is optional, in the sense that it may or may not be practised as a systematic policy.

Enterprise Resource Planning is an integrated, multidimensional system for all functions covering logistics (materials, production, sales and distribution, plant maintenance, quality management, project management, production planning etc.), accounting (finance and controlling) and human resources and while at the same time incorporating industry - specific solutions and the best business practices. ERP provides real time online information for decision making or required analysis. This is whenever the data is needed into the system, it is processed and stored immediately. Since under ERP transactions are simultaneous, the information or data based on these transactions shall also be up-to-date and must be readily available at any given time.

It is not only easy to use and address all software requirements of the enterprise, but als...
