ASSIGNMENT 06: COMPULSORY ASSIGNMENT
Due date: 13 SEPTEMBER 2022
This assignment consists of essay type questions, process charting and time study
calculations, relating to ALL Learning units.
1.1 Work study is widely used to tackle areas of ineffectiveness in organisations.
Write a short description of your understanding of the concept of work study
and explain how it can add value to an organisation.
(5)
Meaning of Work Study:
, Work study is the investigation, by means of a consistent system of the work done
in an organization in order to attain the best utilisation of resources i.e. Materials,
Machines, Men and Money. All the technologies and management systems are
related with productivity.
Work study is one of the basic techniques of improving productivity. In order to
resolve this aspect, work study aims:
(i) To analyse the work in order to achieve work simplification and thereby improving
productivity of the system.
(ii) To have optimum utilization of resources i.e., 4 Ms.
(iii) To evaluate the work content through work measurement.
(iv) To set time standards for various jobs.
1.2 Method study offers a systematic approach to problem-solving. In response
to this statement, discuss the definition and nature of method study. (5)
Method study is the process of subjecting work to systematic, critical scrutiny to make it
more effective and/or more efficient. It is one of the keys to achieving productivity
improvement.
It was originally designed for the analysis and improvement of repetitive manual work
but it can be used for all types of activity at all levels of an organisation.
The process is often seen as a linear, described by its main steps of:
Select (the work to be studied);
Record (all relevant information about that work);
Examine (the recorded information);
Develop (an improved way of doing things);
Install (the new method as standard practice);
Maintain (the new standard proactive).
Although this linear representation shows the underlying simplicity of method study, in
practice the process is much more one of repeated passes through the sequence
of steps with each dominating at a different stage of the investigation?
The cyclic process often starts with a quick, rough pass in which preliminary data are
collected and examined before subsequent passes provide and handle more
comprehensive and more detailed data to obtain and analyse a more complete
picture.
