Test of Hypothesis

Test of hypothesis is to be used by industrial engineers to confirm or validate that their redesign or a process has resulted in the increase of productivity. This becomes useful when there is variation in the output from various workstations or persons.  We can also visualize activities in different places. In such case we test the hypothesis that productivity has improved in the workstations where redesign is is implemented.

Applied Industrial Engineering - IE in Various Branches of Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineering is primarily an engineering discipline with productivity orientation. It major application is in incremental improvement of processes that give benefit within one year and hence it became closely allied with management in increasing profits, reducing costs and providing the company with the potential to reduce prices and increase profit. Hence Taiichi Ohno said industrial engineering is profit engineering. If a company is not using IE, it is losing an opportunity.

The application of industrial engineering is in processes of all engineering branches. Engineering activities like product design, production, maintenance of machines in factories, and service of consumer items are important engineering activities. In addition material handling and storage also involve engineering. Unfortunately, industrial engineering profession has not given enough attention to makes its presence in various engineering branches visible and systemic. Only limited attempts were done to create textbooks that discuss IE in specific engineering branches.

It is important that industrial engineers have to recognize that scientific management was evaluated by Lilian Gilbreth, a psychologist from a human behavior  perspective and a positive opinion was given. Industrial engineering, appeared as a part of the system of management and engineering developed to reduce cost of products made using engineering processes and methods.

Time Study - Work Measurement

Engineering tasks are to be divided into elementary operations or elements, and the time to complete them has to be understood through various elements contributing to it. Through that understanding the time to do an element has to be reduced. These elements have to be classified into standard elements that are present in multiple tasks. 

Time study has to be done at the start of the process improvement study. At intermediate points in the study. At the end of the study. Then after some training and practice in the new method, it has to be done to fix the output expected from the new process as standard.

Taylor's Time Study: Taylor wanted time study to generate standard data for specified elements of work of machines and men. This standard data can be at national or universal level, industry level or company level. Taylor and Gilbreth recommended study of the best person to understand the best way of doing a work element. They spent time to further improve the way of doing based on productivity science developed them on the work element. For them the output  of time study has to be the best way of doing a work element and the minimum time in which it can be done. Taylor insisted from the beginning that the speed specified for operations has to be the speed that can be done comfortably, safely and healthily for the entire career span of the operators. What is that speed? Industrial engineering discipline later on developed a standard for that speed as 3 miles per hour. But is it scientifically validated? It may be necessary to provide solid logic and empirical foundation for this standard. Do people feel  happy and comfortable to walk 24 miles per day in 8 hours? This standard has corresponding specification in various work elements. In which work element, people are happy and comfortable to do as per the standard? It is an important question to be answered IE discipline.

Waste Measurement

Waste measurement is highlighted by Taiichi Ohno and other Toyota industrial engineers. Material and information flow diagram is totally Toyota invention and it measures and highlights inventory. A setup time is the variable that controls inventory (lot size), it records setup times.

Taking the cue from TPS, industrial engineering discipline has to start measurement of waste as industrial engineering measurement area.

Test of Hypothesis

Test of hypothesis is to be used by industrial engineers to confirm or validate that their redesign or a process has resulted in the increase of productivity. This becomes useful when there is variation in the output from various workstations or persons.  We can also visualize activities in different places. In such case we test the hypothesis that productivity has improved in the workstations where redesign is is implemented.

Applied Industrial Engineering - IE in Various Branches of Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineering is primarily an engineering discipline with productivity orientation. It major application is in incremental improvement of processes that give benefit within one year and hence it became closely allied with management in increasing profits, reducing costs and providing the company with the potential to reduce prices and increase profit. Hence Taiichi Ohno said industrial engineering is profit engineering. If a company is not using IE, it is losing an opportunity.

The application of industrial engineering is in processes of all engineering branches. Engineering activities like product design, production, maintenance of machines in factories, and service of consumer items are important engineering activities. In addition material handling and storage also involve engineering. Unfortunately, industrial engineering profession has not given enough attention to makes its presence in various engineering branches visible and systemic. Only limited attempts were done to create textbooks that discuss IE in specific engineering branches.

Industry 4.0 Technology and Manual Assembly
By Amanda Aljinovic
March 15, 2023

Digital work instructions, cobots, radio frequency identification (RFID), augmented reality (AR) and other Industry 4.0 technologies can help. These technologies are designed to provide cognitive and physical support to people on the assembly line.  How can engineers decide when such technologies are a worthwhile investment?

In a case study, industry 4.0 technologies application in a gear-box assembly line was studied.

Seven Industry 4.0 technologies were considered: RFID, digital work instructions, pick-to-light technology, AR, cobots, automated guided vehicles, and ergonomic manipulators.



Four quantitative criteria were used to rank the technologies: total investment cost, worker effort, workspace utilization and cycle time reduction. 

RFID is one of the most important technologies for identifying and tracking assemblies in a production system. It provides precise information about the locations or states of goods in real-time and serves as a capstone for the establishment of the IoT within production.

Digital instructions are proven to reduce the assembly time and errors with complex assemblies.

Pick-to-light systems use LEDs on racks or shelves to show assemblers where to pick parts for an assembly and how many to retrieve. The lights guide assemblers through each step in the process. These systems are often connected with warehouse management systems.

AR also offers the possibility of significant improvement in cycle time, error rate, mental strain, worker focus.

Cobots are particularly desirable when people are confronted with heavy loads and repetitive, tedious activities. People can share the same workspace with the cobots, allowing managers to allocate tasks in a more flexible, efficient way.

AGVs can eliminate the need for people to transport parts and assemblies to and from the assembly line.

The ergonomic manipulator is an electronic device developed to improve ergonomics at the fifth assembly workstation. The device reduces the amount of physical effort needed to handle heavy components that must be mounted to the gearbox.

This article is a summary of a research paper co-authored by Aljinovic, Nikola Gjeldum, Ph.D., Boženko Bilic, Ph.D., and Marko Mladineo, Ph.D.
