Method Study: Methods Efficiency Engineering - Operation Analysis Approach - Knol Book

TAYLOR'S INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING - PROF. DIEMER.

  • Analyze each engineering process into its ultimate, simple elements, and develop ideal or perfect elements.
  • Make all due allowances for rational and practical conditions and establish an attainable commercial unit time production standard for every step.
  • The next step is attaining continuously the unit time production standard, involving both quality and quantity for each element.
  • Process integration - Assembling the improved prime elements into a well-arranged, well-built, smooth-running engineering process (machine).
  • The industrial  engineer must be able to select mechanical devices, people and perfect the organization that suits present needs and secures prompt returns in profit.

Industrial Engineering - Process - Operation - Element Analysis Approach - H.B. Maynard


H.B. Maynard discussed in detail the method study procedure in his book "Operation Analysis" published in 1938. Method study is engineering branch specific. Shigeo Shingo, the Japanese industrial engineer, clearly stated that value engineering or product design efficiency engineering is to be attempted first by industrial engineers. Next comes methods efficiency engineering. Hence engineers of a particular branch are only equipped to analyze the product designs and process designs of that branch from efficiency point of view.

Methods efficiency engineering is divided first into process analysis and operation analysis. In operation analysis, the elements like the tolerance specified, material given as input, material handling, equipment, setup, tools, working conditions and operator methods are analysed. All these elements belong to the machine and related items (machine effort industrial engineering).  Operator method analysis is an altogether independent study known as motion study (human effort industrial engineering). Similarly, after method study, to determine standard times time study or other work measurement techniques are used. Time study is used at the start of IE study or Methods efficiency engineering study to understand the current time and find alternative ways that would reduce this time.
