RESPOND TO ANSWER.... (SOMEONE ANSWER FROM A DISCUSSION QUESTION)

1. Do you recommend that the four machine operators continue to switch machines every hour? I would not suggest that the four machine operators keep exchanging machines each hour the way it was initially set up. Would you recommend that the operators be permanently assigned to the machines they currently operate during Hour 3? I would not recommend that operators should be permanently assigned to the machines they currently operate during hour three. I suggest that Fred works on machines 3 and 4, and during the third hour, Fred takes a short break to relieve his boredom and regain his composure. That will alleviate some noise and the many short breaks. Bonnie can work on 1 and 4 since 2 and 3 are difficult and cuts down on productivity. Mary and Tom can switch every two hours as well. What do you think would be the conquences of any changes you might recommend? I think there will be fewer consequences since there are accommodation and consideration for the operators to be more productive and increase in production.
2. How can the principles of the mechanistic approach to job design inform a decision about how to assign workers to machines? The mechanistic approach simplifies work as much as possible, and each operator can share their experience on each machine that will help. What about the principles of the motivational approach? The principles of the motivational approach can be incentives and rewards for their productivity, such as a personal day, bonus, and even acknowledgment are boosters. the perceptual approach? The perceptual approach will help once each machine is explained to each worker, and each worker has full knowledge and understanding; this will boost morale and cause high productivity. the biological approach? The biological approach is usually the physical aspect of the job; it requires pushing of various levers, which can get very tedious.
3. How could job analysis be used to improve this assembly line? Job analysis can be used to improve this assembly line by observing the workers and taking various surveys. Have the employees complete questionnaires. This will help team leaders with risks and hazards on the job, the duties, and responsibilities. It can even improve the skills required to perform the job at Josh's Toy Manufacturing.

1. Do you recommend that the four machine operators continue to switch machines every hour? Would you recommend that the operators be permanently assigned to the machines they currently operate during Hour 3? What do you think would be the consequences of any changes you might recommend? It is not recommended to shift/shuffle operator to each machine on hourly basis, also it is not recommended to assign operator to only single machine for work as working knowledge of all machine to each and every operator is must for safe operation of produced goods. Exposure of every machine functionality to each operator helps in overcoming man hour shortage in case of emergency like absence of machine 4 operators work can be done by other operators if they know functionality of each machine for this they should work on each machine regularly for honing their skills in process operation. I might suggest for changes in shuffling of workers based on job analysis instead of 3 hours It can be performed on rotational shift basis for optimal output of the units.

2. How can the principles of the mechanistic approach to job design inform a decision about how to assign workers to machines? What about the principles of the motivational approach? the perceptual approach? the biological approach? The operator can share their knowledge on how the machine works. The job can offer benefits such as accumulated vacation time and bonus on sales. Giving specifications training in order to follow rules and regulations of the business.

3. How could job analysis be used to improve this assembly line? Demonstrating guidelines in how to perform in a hazards environment. Improving skills of workers helps the company succeed in a long run.
