Arguably, this is the most valuable fact for a business to know because it determines capacity, productivity, profit or loss. Both direct and indirect labor costs rely on the required time, as do output, crew sizes, staffing, schedules, product cost, transfer prices, constraints, workload balance, on and on. Let's also suggest that the answer must be both accurate and objective. Time study is the basis of accuracy for management measurement, and is applied to resolve disagreement should they occur. Chapters include: Operating practice for labor operations Benefits of work measurement, Which measurement technique? Employee incentive pay If you only read one work measurement The art of the time study The art of work sampling The special case of construction piece rates Other important aspects of work measurement A model plan to establish work measurement Formal incentives administration Methods and workplace checklists for improvement Work measurement glossary Useful forms and worksheets An extra section on Capacity, Utilization and Constraints is included, to enable the reader to identify and relieve bottlenecks in the first place, then to manage constraints. Capacity activity depends very heavily on work measurement, to locate causes and relieve them. Chapters include: Capacity, utilization, constraints; in the context of business operations Manage constraints, by boardroom and policy actions Operating factors affect utilization Maximize capacity, manage constraints, on the floor Apply the capacity, constraint, and utilization data As with other professions, work measurement proficiency is gained through training and experience. This book explains very specifically what to do, why it is necessary, and how to do it; not only study techniques themselves, but also management and control actions to implement work measurement. Buy it for both practitioners and managers, as each will learn from the guidance contained. The text of this book is included in "Industrial Engineering: Theory, Practice, and Application," by Jack Greene, as are texts of "Cost Reduction In Business Management" and "Plant Layout and Design Edition Two."

Download or read book Lean Thinking written by James P. Womack and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lean Thinking was launched in the fall of 1996, just in time for the recession of 1997. It told the story of how American, European, and Japanese firms applied a simple set of principles called 'lean thinking' to survive the recession of 1991 and grow steadily in sales and profits through 1996. Even though the recession of 1997 never happened, companies were starving for information on how to make themselves leaner and more efficient. Now we are dealing with the recession of 2001 and the financial meltdown of 2002. So what happened to the exemplar firms profiled in Lean Thinking? In the new fully revised edition of this bestselling book those pioneering lean thinkers are brought up to date. Authors James Womack and Daniel Jones offer new guidelines for lean thinking firms and bring their groundbreaking practices to a brand new generation of companies that are looking to stay one step ahead of the competition.
Download or read book Improving Production with Lean Thinking written by Javier Santos and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unique coverage of manufacturing management techniques--complete with cases and real-world examples. Improving Production with Lean Thinking picks up where other references on production processes leave off. It is increasingly important to integrate and systematize lean thinking throughout production/manufacturing and the supply chain because the market is becoming more competitive, products are becoming more complex, and product life is getting shorter and shorter. With a practical focus, this book encompasses the science and analytical background for improving manufacturing, control, and design. It covers specific methodologies and tools for: * Material flow and facilities layout, including a six step layout design process * The design of cellular layouts * Analyzing and improving equipment efficiency, including Poka-Yoke, motion study, maintenance, SMED, and more * Environmental improvements, including 5S implementation With real-life case studies of successful European and American approaches to lean manufacturing, this reference is ideal for engineers, managers, and researchers in manufacturing and production facilities as well as students. It bridges the gap between production/manufacturing and supply chain techniques and provides a detailed roadmap to improved factory performance.
