Course Outcomes
|
Students successfully completing this course will have the ability to:
- Perform
methods/process improvement through work simplification techniques
using several graphical tools:
- Flow
diagram
ii. Flow process
chart
iii. Gang process chart iv. Worker-machine process chart
v. Two-handed process chart
- Perform
quantitative analyses relating to worker and machine relationships
such as:
- Synchronous
servicing ii. Random servicing
iii. Line balancing with knowledge of cycle
time.
- Understand
manual work design including
- NIOSH lifting
guidelines.
- Job analysis
and evaluation
- Perform time study
and its derivative applications using work measurement techniques
such as:
- Stopwatch for
direct observation
- Standard data
- Work sampling
- Predetermined
motion time systems (e.g. MOST)
- Wage payment
- Learning curve
