Smart Glass - Productivity Benefits




2013: Gartner predicted that ‘Smart glasses are expected to have the most impact on the heavy industry, such as manufacturing…’

Zebra Technologies more than half of manufacturers surveyed expressed a desire to adopt wearable technology by 2022. Of those currently using wearables, 55% said they plan to increase their usage.

According to Taptica, 75 million wearable devices are to be deployed in enterprise and industrial environments by 2020.

Forrester predicts that more than 14 million U.S. workers will use smart glasses by 2025.

Forrester also predicts that enterprises are expected to spend more than $30 billion on smart glasses through 2025.


The smart glass adoption will take place because of the productivity benefit that it will deliver.

Manpower Productivity Improvement - Manpower - Human Resource Industrial Engineering - Bibliography



Interesting to read on 10 November 2018




13 September 2012

Labor productivity has major economic implications.  When a society produces  more goods - food, clothing, medicine, and transportation, from the efforts of the same labor force or population, people will be better off on average and standard of living improves.  Hence labor productivity improvement is a strategic initiatives at all levels of economic activity in all countries.

Technical and Nontechnical Labor Productivity Improvements

Adam Smith, in a chapter called the "Division of Labor",  described the 18 separate assembly steps in making a single metal pin. He estimated that a single person, working alone, could make 20 pins in a day. But,  10 people on an assembly line could make 48,000 pins in a single day - an output of 4,800 pins per worker per day. That's quite an improvement in labor productivity due to division of labor. This is an example of nontechnical labor productivity improvement.

An Oregon, Portland inventor Henry Phillips in 1936 patented a new type of screw head that was specifically designed to allow assembly line autoworkers to more quickly and easily seat the screwdriver into the screw. By 1940, the Phillips head screw was the standard in the automotive industry. This screw saved many hours of labor and improved labor productivity. This is an example of  labor productivity improvement due to technical invention.

What is Industrial Engineering?

Industrial Engineering is an engineering based management discipline dealing with human effort engineering and system efficiency engineering.

It emerged out of the management practice by engineers in engineering related departments of manufacturing, fabrication and construction companies.

Frederick Taylor, Frank Gilbreth, and Harrington Emerson, all engineers and pioneers of industrial engineering found a shortcoming in the practice of management of their time. Management meant line management and each manager had a certain number reporting to him and he was handling multiple activities related to the management process all by himself. This practice was giving rise to significant waste of production resources as the managers had no expertise or time to study, develop and create a science of use of production resources. Planning and control were not proper as there was no good data for planning.

Frederick Taylor and Harrington Emerson advocated that line management must be assisted by staff management specialists who study resource usage in production processes and systems, develop scientific models and theories and provide data and models for planning.

The methods, tools and techniques developed by Taylor, Gilbreth and Harrington Emerson gave significant waste reduction or efficiency improvement benefits to companies and they became part of the discipline of industrial engineering.

Industrial engineering is different from the  other engineering disciplines as it focuses not on creating new machines in a field of engineering, but on efficient utilization of materials/resources, equipments, energy and manpower in production processes. Industrial engineers evaluate and improve efficiency of production systems that employ outputs of multiple engineering disciplines like civil, mechanical, electrical, electronics and information technology.

Industrial engineering is a part of management discipline, but it is a specialized function that provides its input into the managerial process as a staff service.

Motion analysis and design, work station design, ergonomics, comfort, safety and health studies, work measurement, and  job evaluation and wage incentives are some of the techniques of industrial engineering that are related to human resources used in production and distribution systems.

Methods efficiency engineering in the areas of production, inspection, purchase, stores, maintenance, customer service, transportation, warehousing, sales persons’ travel, Value engineering of products, use of statistics and Operations Research, engineering economics etc. are the techniques used to improve the efficiency or to eliminate waste in processes and systems.

Industrial engineering can be simply explained as Human Effort Engineering and System Efficiency Engineering.

It is a strategic management function taking care of the total enterprise cost and therefore industrial engineers are appropriately termed profit engineers. They increase the profit of companies and businesses by decreasing the enterprise cost by identifying and eliminating waste in proposed systems, methods and budgets.

Going, the person who wrote the first book on Industrial Engineering discipline in 1911 identified the three key specialties of Industrial Engineering: Efficiency, Human Element and Economic Aspect – the profit of the business.

Work and the Nature of Man - Frederick Herzberg



“To summarize, the human animal has two categories of needs. One set stems from his animal disposition, that side of him previously referred to as the Adam view of man; it is centred on the avoidance of loss of life, hunger pain, sexual deprivation, and on other primary drives, in addition to the infinite varieties of learned fears that become attached to these basic drives. The other segment of man's nature, according to the Abraham concept of the human being, is man's compelling urge to realize his own potentiality by continuous psychological growth.”
