Project Topic: Please make a method study and work analysis for a process that you choose.

Book Chapter: Read the book chapter on Human Resources, Job Design, and Work Measurement from any operations management book

Refrences: Use 10 references of articles about the topic (Do your Proxy settings of the university to download the articles from Science Direct for free)

Charts to include: Develop a Process Chart, Activity Chart, Process Chart for your Project.

Steps to follow:

The classical stopwatch study, or time study , originally proposed by Frederick W. Taylor in

1881, involves timing a sample of a workers performance and using it to set a standard.

1. Define the task to be studied (after methods analysis has been conducted).

2. Divide the task into precise elements (parts of a task that often take no more than a few

seconds).

3. Decide how many times to measure the task (the number of job cycles or samples

needed).

4. Time and record elemental times and ratings of performance.

5. Compute the average observed (actual) time.

6. Determine performance rating (work pace) and then compute the normal time for each

element.

7. Add the normal times for each element to develop a total normal time for the task.

8. Compute the standard time . This adjustment to the total normal time provides for allowances

such as personal needs, unavoidable work delays , and worker fatigue :

Improvement:

Calculate the idle times in your first study, and make improvement by changing the places of the tasks and provide second improved charts and proove that you improved the proces by some percentage by calculating the new idle times of your process.
