Methods, Standards, And Work Design
The objectives of the 11th edition of this popular text are to provide a practical, up-to-date college text describing engineering methods to measure, analyze, and design manual work. The importance of ergonomics and work design as part of methods engineering is emphasized, not only to increase productivity but also to improve worker health and safety and, thus, company bottom-line costs. Far too often industrial engineers have focused solely on increasing productivity through methods changes and job simplification, resulting in overly repetitive jobs for the operators and increased incidence rates of musculoskeletal injuries. Any cost reductions obtained are more than offset by the increased medical and Workers Compensation costs, especially considering today's ever-escalating health care costs. Also, with the continual decline of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. and an increase in the importance of the service sector, a chapter on the cognitive aspects of work, information processing, and office ergonomics has been included. Additional examples and case studies showing applications with the service industry have been provided. Some topics of lesser importance or those that have been supplanted by technological changes have been reduced in scope. However, the 11th edition still provides a continued reliance on work sampling, time study, facilities layout and various flow process charts in the industrial engineering profession.

The 13th edition of Methods, Standards, and Work Design will provide practical, up-to-date descriptions of engineering methods to measure, analyze, and design manual work. The text emphasizes both the manual components and the cognitive aspects of work, recognizing the gradual decline of the manufacturing sector and the growth of the service sector. The importance of ergonomics and work design as part of methods engineering emphasizes not only increased productivity, but also to improve worker health and safety, and thus, company bottom-line costs. In the twenty-first century it is essential that the industrial engineer consider both productivity issues and their efforts on the health and safety of the worker. This comprehensive text addresses this need by integrating the traditional elements of motion and time study along with the human factors and ergonomics and safety engineering.
The Work Design Lab provides the tools and equipment necessary to introduce students into the field of methods, standards, work design, and productivity improvement. The laboratory has the capability to perform detailed analysis of workstations and the processes performed at them, based on ergonomic principles as well as time studies and motion economy. Lean & Six Sigma methodologies are implemented through visual management and quality principles, to look for improvement relevant to organizations by helping to reduce waste and variation.
Lean & Six Sigma methodologies are implemented through visual management and quality principles to look for improvement relevant to organizations by helping to reduce waste and variation. With the current capabilities and those under development, students will be able to learn the basic industrial engineering concepts for work design.
This initial conceptualisation was used to generate a longlist of issues in four theory areas for focusing the review (see Appendix 5). These were reviewed and prioritised by stakeholder workshop participants and then by the Project Advisory Group members in a face-to-face meeting. They were broadly grouped into theory areas: career development and strategy, design and delivery, and mediating factors and impacts.
