| Work Measurement |
To determine the best combination of motion elements, measurements of the time required to do each motion as well as bundles of motion are needed.
Work measurement is an important measure in industrial engineering to select the best work method for machine elements, purely manual work elements or a combination of man-machine work elements. It is useful to set day’s task for an operator. Task-based incentives can be set based on the standard time which is an output of work measurement.
___________________
Work measurement is to be used to identify best way of doing an element of work. After a task is designed combining various elements the total time taken can be specified by summing up the time estimate for each element. Now predetermined time systems, the most popular being Most use this method.
Stop watch time study can be used on average trained operator to observe the time taken for each elements and from these observations standard times can be prescribed.
Measured calculated standard times of various tasks can be used to set daily task for operators.
Task based incentives can be set based on the standard time which is an output of work measurement.

Taylor on Time Study and Work Measurement
The writer has endeavored in the following pages to describe the system of management introduced by him in the works of the Midvale Steel Company, of Philadelphia, which has been employed by them during the past ten years with the most satisfactory results.
The system consists of three principal elements :
( i ) An elementary rate-fixing department.
( 2 ) The differential rate system of piece-work.
( 3 ) What he believes to be the best method of managing men who work by the day.
Elementary rate-fixing differs from other methods of making piece-work prices in that a careful study is made of the time required to do each of the many elementary operations into which the manufacturing of an establishment may be analyzed or divided. These elementary operations are then classified, recorded, and indexed, and when a piece-work price is wanted for work the job is first divided into its elementary operations, the time required to do each elementary operation is found from the records, and the total time for the job is summed up from these data. While this method seems complicated at the first glance, it is, in fact, far simpler and more effective than the old method of recording the time required to do whole jobs of work, and then, after looking over the records of similar jobs, guessing at the time required for any new piece of work.
