The Purpose of Work Measurement Method study is the principal technique for reducing the work involved‚ primarily by eliminating unnecessary movement on the part of material or operatives and by substituting good methods for poor ones. Work measurement is concerned with investigating‚ reducing and subsequently eliminating ineffective time‚ that is time during which no effective work is being performed‚ whatever the cause. Work measurement‚ as the name suggests‚ provides management with a means

Strategic Performance Measurement: Benefits‚ Limitations and Paradoxes1 Pietro Micheli and Jean-Francois Manzoni Extended abstract Strategic Performance Measurement (SPM) can be both functional and dysfunctional for organisations. SPM can help organisations define and achieve their strategic objectives‚ align behaviours and attitudes and‚ ultimately‚ have a positive impact on organisational performance. However‚ SPM has also been criticised for several reasons‚ such as encouraging perverse behaviours

Linear Measurements Purpose How thick is one of the hairs on your head? Could it be measured accurately with a standard inch scale? If the smallest increment on an inch scale is 1/16 inch‚ then 20 average size human hairs could fit within the space of a 1/16 inch gap. The required degree of accuracy needed is dependent on the application. If you were to build a home‚ a standard inch scale is perfect for laying out walls and locating window openings.A dial caliper is a precision measurement tool

Performance Measurement Systems Performance measurement systems are an integral part of the management control systems. Management control is a process through which management ensures that resources are obtained and used effectively and efficiently in accomplishing the organization’s goals. To be most effective performance measures should be tied to the strategic objectives of the organization. Two key principles of performance measurements are; measurement of performance and compensation based

Area under a Curve and area in between the two curves are found by Integration. 8. Volume of Solid of Revolution explains how to use integration to find the volume of an object with curved sides‚ e.g. wine barrels. 9. Electric Charges have a force between them that varies depending on the amount of charge and the distance between the charges. We use integration to calculate

VIBRATION MEASUREMENT In some practical situations‚ it might be difficult to develop a mathematical model of the system and predict its vibration characteristics through an analytical study. In such cases‚ we can use experimental methods to measure the vibration response of the system to a known input. This helps in identifying the system in terms of its mass‚ stiffness‚ and damping. In practice the measurement of vibration becomes necessary for the following reasons: 1. The increasing demands
