IE3351 Work System Design Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
• Explain the concepts of workstudy productivity and productivity measurement approaches.
• Plan and record and analyse selected tasks using different flow charts.
• Use method study to improve a task. Apply principles of motion economy to improve performance.
• Plan and conduct a time study to improve the efficiency of the system.
• Appraise the standard times to assess the office work condition.
UNIT I PRODUCTIVITY
Work Study and Productivity – Total time for a job or operation, total work content and in effective time, – Production and Productivity-Productivity and standard of living, Factors affecting Productivity, Productivity measurement Models. – procedure of work study
UNIT II METHODS ENGINEERING
