Time Study and Job Analysis: As Applied to Standardization of Methods and Operations (Classic Reprint) by William O Lichtner (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from Time Study and Job Analysis: As Applied to Standardization of Methods and Operations The aim of this book is to explain the practical application of Time Study and Job Analysis in simple, n-technical terms. Experience has shown that job standardization when properly tied in with planning and control affords the most effective preventive yet developed for industrial ills. While the technique of the subject is here given in full detail, special emphasis is placed upon the relation of standardization work to problems of management. The increasing attention being given to industrial management by progressive executives is to be attributed only slightly to the ordinary processes of salesmanship and advertising. The responsible executive, absorbed with the concrete difficulties of the business which he has seen grow up, is naturally skeptical of the assistance to be rendered from any outside source. The industrial engineer, whether employed as consultant or as resident, has won his way because he has been able to sit down with the individual executive and demonstrate plainly and in detail just what could be done for the particular business in question. It has been the logic of actual performance which has demonstrated in plant after plant that: 1. Through the methods of time study and job analysis reliable assistance can be obtained. 2. These methods constitute in wise a magical formula, but are susceptible of cool and deliberate examination. 3. The work can be done by agencies which the executive can command.
