Productivity rather than increases in productivity is the topic of the day and work-study is tailored towards that goal. The term work-study is not new to the industry sector. It is a technique combining the Work Measurement leading to organizing the work sequence and procedure as well as the Motion Study, helping to engineer and develop optimal work methods. These two wings of work-study are integrated and refined into a widely accepted method applicable to the improvement and upgrading of work systems. This book is hence aptly titled Work Organization and Methods Engineering, almost a synonym of Work-Study. Although the second decade of the 21st century experienced a lot of disruptive advancement in industrial operations by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), the basic understanding of analysing the human motions with reference to productivity improvement is still pertinent. An attempt is hence made to present the subject matter in a reasonably simplified manner with more general knowledge than technical knowledge in mind. While a majority of case studies discussed in this book refer to the manufacturing industry, other related fields like port operations, clerical work etc. too are illustrated. As the head of both the Industrial Engineering, as well as the Production Planning, functions at Ralli group industry, the author's experience has fully been utilised in bringing out this book on the basics of Work Organization and Methods Engineering with several formats and charts that are useful in recording the data. A feature of this book is the introduction of a new recording technique called time-lapse camera video recording as done in some American airports. Since work-study involves a change in the processes, which is normally disapproved by the workforce, a separate chapter on Resistance to change is added to discuss the why and how of this issue. Also included are the chapters on work sampling, ergonomics, role of consultants, Japanese management.
