Chapter of the Book
Introduction
Frederick Taylor proposed a system for rapid increase in the productivity of machine-man systems. The system is based on the development of understanding of the maximum speed at which the machine can be run and man can work on a given job. Understanding the speed at which the machine can work is engineering. Understanding at which speed man can work on a given job is also the job of the productivity engineer. The productivity engineer or the industrial engineer has to first design the job to be done an operator, has to decide the speed at which he can do it and then do trial runs utilizing the best operators. Then, the industrial engineer can train the supervisors to train many other workers to complete the task using the most productive way. This activity is termed as human effort industrial engineering. In human effort industrial engineering, all interface elements between man and machine and man and job are to be studied and they are to be designed to contribute to the maximum productivity.
Gilbreth developed the concept of "motion study" to study the movements made by operators using their hands and feet to do work. He developed principles of motion economy based on his studies. He also developed charts to study the motions made by workmen. He developed the chart to depict the complete process of producing parts and assemblies.
The books on "motion and study" focus on human effort industrial engineering.

What is human effort industrial engineering?
ChatGPT Answer (11.4.2023)
Human effort industrial engineering is a branch of industrial engineering that focuses on designing and improving work systems to maximize the productivity and efficiency of human workers. It involves studying the physical and cognitive capabilities of workers, as well as the ergonomics of their work environments, and using this knowledge to optimize work processes.
The goal of human effort industrial engineering is to reduce the physical and mental strain on workers, while improving their job satisfaction and productivity. This can involve redesigning workstations and tools to minimize repetitive motions, optimizing work schedules to reduce fatigue, and providing training to improve worker skills and knowledge.
Human effort industrial engineering is particularly important in manufacturing and other industries that rely heavily on human labor. By optimizing work processes, it can help companies reduce costs, improve quality, and increase efficiency, while also ensuring that workers are able to perform their jobs safely and effectively.
