Chapte- Work systems discussion – Includes topics such as worker-machine systems, assembly lines, service operations, office work, projects, and material handling.
- Work methods, measurement, and management coverage –Addressesmethods engineering, operations analysis, facilities planning, time study, ergonomics, lean production, six sigma quality programs, work organization, and compensation systems.
- Thirty chapters are organized into six parts – Work Systems and How They Work; Methods Engineering and Layout Planning; Time Study and Work Measurement; New Approaches in Process Improvement and Work Management; Ergonomics and Human Factors in the Workplace, and Traditional Topics in Work Management.
- Unique historical notes – Provide a valuable perspective on the various techniques and topics discussed.
- Emphasis on the management aspects of work – Covers topics such as organization theory, wage administration, worker motivation, and job evaluation.
- Broadened scope of time and motion study – Addresses the systems by which work is accomplished, such as worker-machine systems, manufacturing cells, assembly lines, projects, and office work pools.
- Extensive problem sets and review questions – Features nearly 500 end-of-chapter review questions and more than 400 end-of-chapter problems.
- Historical notes – Provide a historical perspective of the various techniques and topics.
- Solid instructional support – Features anonline, downloadable solutions manual with answers to all review questions and solutions to all problems, plus a complete set of PowerPoint slides covering all chapters.
- Distinct coverage of ergonomics – Addresses physical ergonomics, cognitive ergonomics, work environment, and safety separately from the traditional techniques of methods engineering (such as charting techniques and motion economy principles).
