Motion study and work design
Motion study and work design
Definitions:
Motion Study:
Motion study involves the analysis of the basic hand, arm, and body movements of workers as they perform work.
Work design:
Work design involves the methods and motions used to perform a task.
This design includes: the workplace layout and environment the tooling and equipment (e.g., work holders, fixtures, hand tools, portable power tools, and machine tools).
Objective of Motion study and work design:
The objective towards accomplishing the motion study and work design are :
Using the time and motion study ti identify problem in the production process.
Improving the work process in terms of production time ,number of process and production layout by proposing the new work process.
Benefits from the motion study and work design:
Eliminate the unnecessory
Knowing what is unnecessary is important as knowing what is the most important in production and operation. Basedon those, we can eliminate insignificant tasks and nonproductive activities. Preoccupation, layout of production,errors, too much motion and travel during performing the tasks are examples of nonproductive activities and it wastedthe production time.
Change the sequence of operations
Changing the sequence of operations based on the process chart and flow diagram to affect a smooth flow of work through plant, which can reduce production time. Besides that, changing the sequence of operation also involvelayout of production, where it can reduce space utilization
Simplify the necessary operations
Simplify the necessary operations to make the job easier by analyzing the process in order to improve it throughelimination, combine or rearrange the sequence and layout of operations. By simplifying the operations, it can alsoeffect for the production time.
Techniques of Motion study:
Motion study has the greatest potential for savings. We can by eliminating the task or combining the task with some task. We can rearrange the elements of work to
