Why is work measurement important to your success?

Conference overview

Work measurement is performed to develop the standard time to perform operations. Time standards have traditionally been defined as the time required by a typical operator, working at a normal pace, to perform a specified task using a prescribed method, with time for personal needs, fatigue and delay allowed. Time standards, work standards, or just standards, are critical pieces of management information that apply to all kinds of work including manufacturing, assembly and clerical.

The March issue of Industrial Engineer featured an article about how work measurement is still relevant in the workplace. Members of IIE’s LinkedIn group agreed and had an extensive and intensive discussion about what and when and how to measure work. IIE has arranged for many of our LinkedIn posters to expand their comments into a formal presentation at the 2010 IIE Work Measurement Conference.
