Problems for Work Study

(spelt out in 1961)

Problems for Work Study can cover either men, machines and material separately or a combination of more than one of these three resources.

Work studies that can be done in the area of Machines - Machine Work Studies

Following are some of the studies on machines which can increase production or reduce cost of operation

1. Optimise machine utilisation by proper production planning and control.
2. Reduce machine downtime
    a) by preventive maintenance,
    b) by replacing machines at the end of economic life.
    c) by using PERT or CPS during shutdowns/breakdowns
3. Modify machine to convert batch process to continuous process or reduce loading and unloading time by combining two operations, using low cost fixtures, proper workplace layout and optimum number of operators, or increase batch size.
4. Reduce processing time by using optimum conditions, i.e., proper metal removal rate in the case of machine tools and correct pressure, temperature and catalytic agent in the case of autoclaves (chemical reaction vessels).
5. Select correct machine for the job.
6. Modify design (of design of machine) for each of operation/repair or increase in production.
