Faced with increasing global competition, every
industry, business, and service organization is restructuring itself to operate
more effectively.
Cost-effectiveness and product reliability
without excess capacity are the keys to successful activity in business,
industry, and government, and these keys are the end results of methods
engineering.
The 11th edition of Methods, Standards, and Work
Design provides 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 is emphasized not only to increase productivity, but
also to improve worker health and safety, and thus, company bottom-line costs.
