Machine Utilization Principle of Industrial Engineering - Prof. Ralph Barnes
In his book. Prof. Barnes clearly stated that process-operation improvement for productivity increase has to consider doing an element of sub-operation of an operation in the process using various combinations of human effort, machine effort, and automated system effort. The best combination that provides highest productivity and lowest cost is to be selected.
Barnes was clear that his book focused only on human effort. It is a book on motion study. He stated that motion and time study is only part of industrial engineering. Industrial engineering in the productivity improvement domain itself has many more tasks. Improving the machine effort and automatic systems effort is clearly evident. All industrial engineers know that the flow process chart representation of the process depicts processing operation, inspection operation, transport operation, temporary delays and storage. Temporary delays are planning and control problems. Storage activity falls into a different area altogether.
In the discipline of industrial engineering, pioneers, Taylor and Gilbreth, identified the role of machine and man in engineering work, especially the production or construction work. Taylor developed the subject in both areas. But Gilbreth's focus was to a large extent on human effort. It is to be noted that Gilbreth developed number mechanical support devices for construction workers. It is Gilbreth who gave us the process chart and identified many activities to be depicted in the process chart. The subsequent modifications gave us the five step charts.
Maynard and Barnes are second generation industrial engineers following the first generation pioneers Taylor, Gilbreth, Emerson, Gantt etc.
We may see third generation industrial engineering contributors in Groover, Wysk, Sumanth etc.
The contributions of Groover and Wysk are in the area of mechanization and automation. Industrial engineering discipline has not integrated the contribution of Groover and Wysk and many more industrial engineering researchers in the areas of mechanization and automation appropriately into the curriculum and body of knowledge. The discipline has even recognized adequately that industrial engineering is applicable to all branches of engineering. The contribution of Groover and Wysk is in the area of manufacturing that too, it may be predominantly in machining.
Principles of Industrial Engineering (Narayana Rao, 2017, IISE) clearly bring out the role of machines and automation in industrial engineering and also point out the role of human effort in engineering systems and hence their importance in industrial engineering which is primarily focus on improving engineering systems over their life cycle.
Prof. Mikell Groover, Professor of Industrial Engineering, Lehigh University
Groover presented relevant content for improving processing, inspection, transport, and storage in his book "Automation, Production Systems and Computer Integrated Manufacturing."

Prof. Richard A. Wysk
Wysk has also written number of books and authored number of paper in the area of manufacturing. But it is interesting to highlight his focus on lean manufacturing which is basically eliminating temporary delays in the process.

Mechanization and Automation in Manufacturing
By David -May 25, 2018
Mechanization is a process of reducing the human efforts in manufacturing. In modern-day manufacturing, the mechanization is of great importance as it can provide greater production in lowest possible time and at a lower cost. If some element of a manufacturing process is done by machinery instead by human effort in an operation, then it can be called mechanization.
