Features: This book starts with the management model of typical manufacturing enterprises and uses numerous case studies to illustrate the principles of work study. Building upon the classic process analysis focused on on-site operations, it adds new content on the analysis of management process flows. Additionally, the book discusses the application of work study methods in the information age and provides an analysis and outlook on the future development trends of industrial engineering. The book is divided into fourteen chapters. In Chapters 1 and 2, it analyzes the problems in production operations and management from the perspective of typical manufacturing enterprises' management models, proposing issues related to productivity and its management, as well as the concept of industrial engineering. Chapter 3 is an overview of work study, discussing relevant concepts. Chapters 4 to 6 cover method study, including classic content such as process analysis, operation analysis, and motion analysis. Chapters 7 to 11 focus on work measurement, introducing key topics like time study with stopwatches, work sampling, predetermined time systems, standard data, and learning curves. The last three chapters consist of on-site management methods, work analysis and design, and the development of industrial engineering. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students majoring in industrial engineering in universities and colleges, as well as a learning or training resource for a broad range of engineering technicians and managers.
