Online Education/Training Session on "Effective Industrial Engineering and Productivity Management."

I developed an online education/training session on "Effective Industrial Engineering and Productivity Management." I can present the session in one hour, one and half hour or two-hour long sessions. The sessions will be valuable when company industrial engineers and other engineers and managers attend as a group. Industrial engineers require active cooperation and participation of other engineers and managers in their studies and projects. Hence a common presentation and discussion on effectiveness will be very useful.

Effective Industrial Engineering - Some Thoughts by Narayana Rao K.V.S.S.

Effective industrial engineering has to satisfy management about the contribution it made to the organization year after year.

The prime contribution of IE has to be cost reduction through productivity improvement.

Lesson 299 of IEKC Industrial Engineering ONLINE Course Notes.

Work measurement professionals have to focus on machine time estimation also. Also, they have to focus on developing productivity science based on measurements that they are taking. My comment in work measurement - Linkedin group.

Predetermined Motion Time System (PMTS) - Introduction

A predetermined motion time system (PMTS) consists of a set of time data for basic human motions and a systematic procedure which analyses and subdivides any manual operation of human task into motions, body movements, or other elements of human performance, and assigns to each the appropriate time value. Each system of time data was originally developed from extensive studies of all aspects of human performance through measurement, evaluation, and validation procedures.

PMTS in Use

Barnes listed 9 perdetermined motion time systems in his 1980 Edition.

They are:

1. Motion-Time Analysis (MTA) - 1924

2. Body Member Movements - 1938

3. Motion Time Data for Assembly Work - 1938

4. The Work-Factor System 1938

5. Elemental Time Standard for Basic Manual Work 1942

6. Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) 1948

7. Basic Motion Timestudy (BMT) 1950

8. Dimensional Motion Times (DMT) 1952

9. Predetermined HumanWork Times 1952

Source: Barnes, Ralph M., Motion and Time Study: Design and Measurement of Work, Seventh Edition, 1980, Chapter 27.

PMTS - Differences

Predetermined motion time systems can be categorized as motion based, action based and activity based systems.

MTM

"MTM" stands for Methods-Time Measurement. It is a procedure for improving methods and establishing time standards by recognizing, classifying, and describing the motions used or required to perform a given operation and assigning pre-determined time standards to these motions.

MTM evolved into a dynamic family of systems. It is continuing to grow and meet more needs of its practitioners and users. It has developed from a single system of work measurement and analysis to a family of systems that meets the varied demands of different users.

The basic MTM data was developed by H B Maynard, J L Schwab and G J Stegemerten of the Methods Engineering Council during a consultancy assignment at the Westinghouse Brake and Signal Corporation, USA in the 1940's. This data and the application rules for the MTM system were refined, extended, defined, industrially tested and documented as a result of further work in later years.

In 1948 Maynard, Stegemerten and Schwab published the book "Methods Time Measurement" giving full details of the development of the MTM system and its application rules. The use of MTM spread, firstly in the USA, and then to other industrialised countries. In 1951 the US/Canada MTM Association for Standards and Research was formed by MTM users. The system originators then assigned the MTM copyrights to the MTM Association. (http://www.ukmtm.co.uk/systems/mtm-1.asp )

In 1963, a new member of MTM family with the name MTM-GPD (General Purpose Data) was introduced. The original MTM of 1948 was termed as MTM-1.

MTM-1

The unit of time used in MTM tables is one hundred-thouandath of an hour (0.00001 hour). The time units of MTM are referred to as Time Measurement Unit (TMU). One TMU is equal to 0.0006 minute.

The basic motions used in MTM-1 are:

1. Reach - R

2. Move - M

3. Turn - T

4. Apply Pressure - AP

5. Grasp - G

6. Position - P

7. Release - RL

8. Disengage - D

9. Eye Travel - ET and Eye Focus - EF

10. Body, Leg and Foot Motions
Leg Foot Motions: FM, FMP, LM_,

Horizontal Motions - Side Step - SS_C1, SS_C2, Turn Body TBC1, TBC2,

Walk: W_FT, W_P, W_PO

Vertical Motion SIT, STD, [B,S,KOK], [AB,AS,AKOK], KBK, AKBK

(I shall create a sub-module of lessons for these basic motions of MTM)

Work Systems - IISE Definition and Evolution of Work Systems Design in Industrial Engineering

ISO 6385:2016 Preview
Ergonomics principles in the design of work systems

Work systems involve combinations of workers and equipment, within a given space and environment, and the interactions between these components within a work organization.

ISO 6385:2016 establishes the fundamental principles of ergonomics as basic guidelines for the design of work systems and defines relevant basic terms. It describes an integrated approach to the design of work systems, where ergonomists will cooperate with others involved in the design, with attention to the human, the social and the technical requirements in a balanced manner during the design process.

Users of this International Standard will include executives, managers, workers (and their representatives, when appropriate) and professionals, such as ergonomists, project managers and designers who are involved in the design or redesign of work systems. Those who use this International Standard can find a general knowledge of ergonomics (human factors), engineering, design, quality and project management helpful.

The term "work system" in this International Standard is used to indicate a large variety of working situations, including permanent and flexible work places. The intention of this International Standard is to assist in the improvement, (re)design or change of work systems. Work systems involve combinations of workers and equipment, within a given space and environment, and the interactions between these components within a work organization. Work systems vary in complexity and characteristics, for example, the use of temporary work systems. Some examples of work systems in different areas are the following:

- production, e.g. machine operator and machine, worker and assembly line;

- transportation, e.g. driver and car or lorry, personnel in an airport;

- support, e.g. maintenance technician with work equipment;

- commercial, e.g. office worker with workstation, mobile worker with a tablet computer, cook in a restaurant kitchen;

- other areas like health care, teaching and training.

The observance of ergonomic principles applies to all phases throughout the life cycle of the work system from conception through development, realization and implementation, utilization, maintenance and support to decommissioning.

The systems approach in this International Standard gives guidance to the users of this International Standard in existing and new situations.

The definitions and ergonomic principles specified in this International Standard apply to the design of optimal working conditions with regard to human well-being, safety and health, including the development of existing skills and the acquisition of new ones, while taking into account technological and economic effectiveness and efficiency.

The principles in this International Standard are applicable to many other human activities, e.g. in the design of products for domestic and leisure activities. A more general description of the principles in this International Standard can be found in ISO 26800.

WORK SYSTEMS DIVISION - IISE

IISE Work Systems Division members have an interest in the art, science, and practice of designing, implementing, analyzing and improving human-machine systems that work together to produce goods and provide services.

Vision (what we want to become)
Work Systems Division is to be the leading source for promoting advancements in the science, mathematics, and engineering principles that define work systems.
The Work Systems Division inspires those with an interest in designing, implementing, analyzing, and improving Work Systems in all environments (terrestrial, subterranean, underwater, atmospheric, outer space, cyberspace, etc.).
Mission (what we are doing today)
The Work Systems Division primary focus is on defining/establishing a work systems framework and scientific approach to design, standardization, measurement, analysis and optimization.

Definition

"A work system is a system in which human participants and/or machines perform work using information, technology, and other resources to produce products and/or services for internal or external customers. Typical business organizations contain work systems that procure materials from suppliers, produce and deliver products or services to customers, find customers, create financial reports, hire employees, coordinate work across departments, and perform many other functions.

The work system concept is a common denominator for many types of systems that operate within or across organizations."

Age-Differentiated Work Systems

Christopher Marc Schlick, Ekkehart Frieling, Jürgen Wegge
Springer Science & Business Media, 14-Mar-2013 - Technology & Engineering - 448 pages

The disproportionate aging of the population of working age in many nations around the world is a unique occurrence in the history of humankind. In the light of demographic change, it is becoming increasingly important to develop and use the potential of older employees.

This edited volume Age-differentiated Work Systems provides a final report on a six-year priority program funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and presents selected research findings of 17 interdisciplinary project teams. The idea is that it will serve both as a reference book and overview of the current state of research in ergonomics, occupational psychology and related disciplines. It provides new models, methods, and procedures for analyzing and designing age-differentiated work systems with the aim of supporting subject matter experts from different areas in their decisions on labor and employment policies. Therefore over 40 laboratory experiments involving 2,000 participants and 50 field studies involving over 25,000 employees were conducted.

Further objectives of the edited volume were to provide a pluridisciplinary compilation of the extensive information acquired over the six-year program period, to illustrate the range of the research field, and to convey an integrated understanding of age-differentiated work systems to readers.

Production Ergonomics: Designing Work Systems to Support Optimal Human Performance

Cecilia Berlin, Caroline Adams

Ubiquity Press, 28-Jun-2017 - Technology & Engineering - 296 pages

Production ergonomics – the science and practice of designing industrial workplaces to optimize human well-being and system performance – is a complex challenge for a designer. Humans are a valuable and flexible resource in any system of creation, and as long as they stay healthy, alert and motivated, they perform well and also become more competent over time, which increases their value as a resource. However, if a system designer is not mindful or aware of the many threats to health and system performance that may emerge, the end result may include inefficiency, productivity losses, low working morale, injuries and sick-leave.

To help budding system designers and production engineers tackle these design challenges holistically, this book offers a multi-faceted orientation in the prerequisites for healthy and effective human work. We will cover physical, cognitive and organizational aspects of ergonomics, and provide both the individual human perspective and that of groups and populations, ending up with a look at global challenges that require workplaces to become more socially and economically sustainable. This book is written to give you a warm welcome to the subject, and to provide a solid foundation for improving industrial workplaces to attract and retain healthy and productive staff in the long run.

January - IISE Month of Industrial Engineering and Productivity Management

Welcome to 2025

Jan. 12, 1948 Idea of AIIE was discussed in a meeting. AIIE is now IISE.

Industrial Engineering Definition

Industrial Engineering is System Efficiency Engineering - Narayana Rao K.V.S.S.

Engineers create things. Industrial Engineers make them Better. Industrial engineers improve products and processes that produce products. Productivity improvement is the focus of industrial engineers. Productivity and efficiency have same meanings, but efficiency is a more broad concept. Productivity is generally expressed as output for a unit of input. The input can be a single input like a machine, or a combination of inputs.

Efficiency is productivity. Efficiency is less cost, less resource consumption. Efficiency is employee satisfaction. Efficiency is more profit due to less cost. Efficiency is comfort. Efficiency is health. Efficiency is safety. Efficiency is thus a broader concept.

#IISE75 (1948 - 2023) - 75 Productive Years of IISE (Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers)

1948

Wyllys Stanton. Inside his Columbus, Ohio home on Jan. 12, 1948 (75 years ago), he and a dozen others met to discuss “the problems, methods and potentialities of a new organization specializing in the problems and interests of industrial engineers.”

That’s a direct quote from a blurb Stanton himself penned. It’s included in “Origins of Industrial Engineering: The Early Years of a Profession,” by Howard P. Emerson and Douglas C.E. Naehring.

The fateful discussion inside Stanton’s home included talks on prospective membership requirements, ways such an organization could be useful, scopes of activities and plans for the path ahead.

“There seemed to be no question in the founders' minds of the desirability of such an organization,” Stanton wrote. “They believed that industrial engineering was an important branch of engineering and just as much in need of an organization devoted to its exclusive representation as civil, mechanical, or electrical engineers.”

What is Industrial and Systems Engineering?

IISE Definition of Industrial Engineering

Industrial and systems engineering (ISE) is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.

Focus on these portions of the definition

Industrial and systems engineering (ISE) is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems - to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.

Specify the required results from the systems.

Predict the expected results from the designs of the systems

Evaluate the results after installation and improve them.

Result Areas

As per definition, any result area can become the activity of IE.

Cost and productivity are the two result areas which were first taken up by IE. Quality awareness and resolve not to deteriorate quality was part of IE right from beginning. But as quality engineering and management made its progress, IE adopted quality as a result area. Later flexibility appeared. Now sustainability came into prominence.

1949

Excerpts from President's Message in The Journal of Industrial Engineering, June 1949, Vol 1. Issue 1.

One Year’s Growth

Our first anniversary which fell on January 12th 1949 furnished a good time for looking backward

on the progress made thus far and ahead on our hopes and plans for the years to come.

We have grown from the little group of twelve that voted to start a society and to invite others

of like interest to join with them until we now have approximately 500 Junior and Senior mem-

bers and about 750 members in student chapters. We have received favorable attention from many

Industrial Engineering faculties. We have received the endorsement of Mr. Alexander Van Praag, President of the National Society of Professional Engineers. Local chapters have been formed.

Looking forward, the most encouraging thing is that we have a definite program. This pro-

gram includes, launching of the Journal of Industrial Engineering to provide the same unifying

force for our branch of the profession as has been so long enjoyed by the ‘‘founder societies’’

and other professional technical groups through their respective publications. We plan to step up

the tempo of our publicity work to the end that the entire industrial public shall know more of

the work of the Industrial Engineer, and shall learn to recognize him as a true professional

man, rather than confuse him with mere tech- nicians or ordinary business operators. We

also plan to conduct research in the field of Professional Registration of Industrial En-

gineers by the 48 states, and concerning the types of positions held by members of our pro-

fession. There are of course a number of other points in our forward planning such as that of

contacting every eligible Industrial Engineer that can be located to invite him to join with us,

but these points will serve to illustrate the program.

I sincerely hope that all members will con- tinue to view the work of our Institute as an

opportunity for mutual service. I feel sure that most of you joined in full realization of the fact

that we are not yet big, we do not speak with a powerful voice in the affairs of the great en-

gineering fraternity, but we have the opportunity of doing so one day. Whether or not we will do

so depends upon each individual member.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING, THE MEDIA OF MANAGEMENT CONTROL

Industrial Engineering, The Media Of Management Control

President, Monarch Manufacturing Company, Fort Worth, Texas

Prior to 1910 problems of Industrial Engineering were discussed only in The American Society of Mechanical Engi- neers. It was before that society that the papers of Taylor, Gilbreth and Gantt were read. In 1910, several members of the Mechanical Engineering Society began to meet separately for the discussion of management problems. The group included Gilbreth, Barth, Cooke and Hathaway. In 1912, out of this society, the Society to Promote the Science of Management was formally organized. The membership of the society increased to more than a hundred by 1917.

During World War I, the name was changed to the Taylor Society, and in 1936 the Taylor Society amalgamated with the Society for Industrial Engineers to form the Society for the Advancement of Management. This group flourished and still meets regularly to review detailed problems in management. And finally, as recently as 1948 your organization, the American Institute of Industrial Engineers was founded.

The Dictionary of Occupational Titles defines an industrial engineer as follows:

A classification title for engineers who supervise production departments of manufacturing plants, lay out machinery and apparatus and determine flow of work for most efficient production, conduct and_ interpret time-and-motion studies, devise means and set up programs to curb industrial accidents and fires, set up personnel policies and procedures and evaluate jobs and devise and install accounting and inventory-control systems. The definition adds: May specialize in such fields as setting up production cost records and control systems, developing jigs and fixtures, training production personnel, and wage administration. The definition further adds: The following jobs are typical of those classified under this title: efficiency engineer, factory lay-out-man, methods engineer, production engineer II, safety engineer, time-study engineer, management engineer. This list of subtitles, all directly or indirectly related to the Industrial Engineering field, is at best, confusing.

I believe that the Industrial Engineer’s principal functions are threefold, and I offer for your consideration a brief, simple description of these three functions.

First, the competent Industrial Engineer is an analyst. He is trained and disciplined in the objective study of known or projected situations for the purpose of properly identifying the various factors which may be involved, and to separate the constituent elements in each factor so that they may be considered separately, or in relation to the whole.

Secondly, he is a planner. The facts, ascertained through analysis and properly assembled, tend to point the way for proper planning to attain a desired result. The analyst, therefore, is the first to visualize the plan necessary for corrective measures, or the plan most likely to assure success of a given project.

And thirdly, he is a controller in the sense that he well knows that any plan must incorporate features of comparison and verification to measure progress and results, and he is well informed as to

the most efficient methods which may be employed.

These terms—analyst, planner, controller—are familiar to top management, and indicate to them a pattern of work to be performed for which they recognize a need. Likewise, the terms are understandable to the small business man who might be interested in engaging the services of an Industrial Engineer, if there were a clear understanding of the services to be rendered.

The Industrial Engineer should specialize in that area of management having to do with the

design and manufacture of product. This would encompass all of the ramifications both directly and indirectly associated with the production of product of standard quality and cost; whereas the management engineer should specialize in that area of management involving sales, marketing, finance, policies, organization, and problems in reorganization and mergers. Neither of these definitions sug-

gests imposed limitations, but represent logical deductions I have made as a result of having been associated with both branches of the profession.
