What is Industrial Engineering and Work Study Education

IE Education :

IE education basically need to optimization techniques and streamline the processes that go into manufacturing of  producing a service or product, as well as improving the working method and efficiency of employees.

“Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated system of man, machine and equipment drawing upon specialized knowledge and skill in the technical, economics and human sciences. either with the principles or methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such system”

Work Study is thus a service to management and supervision and will ensure the following reimbursement:

• It is the most accurate means of setting smart upon which production planning and control can take place
• It is a means of raising the productive efficiency of an organization or firm with small or no capital investment.
• It is methodical and ensures that no factor is overlooked.
• It is a most important “tool” which can be applied everywhere.
• The consequential savings start at once and go on for as long as the operations continue in the improved form.
• It is one of the most penetrating tools of test to management. 

  

What is the work study Education?

Work-study Education is a management techniques to investigate all factors, which are affecting to the productivity.

The full effect of work study Education will only be felt in an organization when all employees become familiarized to an attitude that:

  

•  Does not stand waste in any form, whether material, time effort or human ability.

• The refusal to accept without question that things should be done in a positive way because it is the way it has always been done.

Techniques of Work Study:

Method Study 

Method Study is the Systematic recording & critical examination of existing & proposed way of doing works as a means developing & applying easier &more effective methods and reducing cost.

Steps of a Method Study:

• Select        -  operation/Process to be studied
• Record      - all relative facts
• Examine     - critically analyzing the current method
• Develop     - old / selected method
• Define        - the new method properly
• Implement  - the new method
• Maintain     - routine check 
• 

    
Pre- consideration:

   Economical Consideration

   Technical Consideration

   Human Reaction 

    Following Techniques are very important in Method Study:

Motion Economy

Ergonomics & Engineering Design

PMTS (Pre-determined Motion Time System, e.g. GSD)

5S

KAIZEN

Ergonomics:

Science of human energy, working environment and other human factors. (Human factor sciences) This science is very useful in method study & it is used to design the efficient work place, arrange human motion and design tools and work aid.

Theory of Motion Economy:

The principles of Motion Economy state that the lowest classification is usually preferred since it requires the least amount of time and effort, and produces less fatigue.

Use of Human Body 

Design of the work place 

 Design of tools & equipment 

Motion Classes:

CLASS	PIVOT POINT	BODY MEMBER(S) MOVED
1	KNUCKLE	FINGER MOTION ONLY
2	WRIST	HAND & FINGERS
3	ELBOW	FOREARM, HAND AND FINGERS
4	SHOULDER	UPPER ARM, FOREARM, HAND AND FINGERS
5	TRUNK	TORSO, UPPER ARM, FOREARM, HAND AND FINGERS

We can use IE and Work-Study Techniques and Education to control resources, What are the main resources to be controlled, 

• Man power
• Machinery
• Material
• Method & Techniques
• Land, Floor area , etc
