Some traditional design principles
eliminate unnecessary elements, simplify, natural solutions are better, combine compatible elements, smooth sequences, focus on frequent activities
who started the concept of time study (scientific study of work)
frederick taylor
who started motion study and designed the technique for visually organizing/structuring a problem?
frank and lillian gilbreth
"what is the best way to do this job" is an example of what?
scientific study of work (time study)
"what are the most efficient movements for this task" is an example of what?
motion study
what is motion study?
breaks each task or job into separate motions and then eliminates those that were unnecessary or repetitive
what is task analysis?
range of techniques used to describe and/or evaluate the human-machine and human-machine interactions in a system.
work sampling is also sometimes referred to as what?
activity sampling
True or false: sampling methods typically require more time to get data with statistical significance than continuous observation
true
the optimal number of observations depends on:
desired absolute accuracy (L)
proportion of occurrence (p)
confidence level desired (z)
relative accuracy (s) = L/p
difference between relative and absolute accuracy?
relative is a percentage of the proportion (s) and absolute is a measurement of the proportion (L)
Why is the difference between relative and absolute accuracy important?
when designing different objects, it's unlikely you can use the same absolute accuracy for dramatically different product
What is confidence (z)?
it expresses the long-run probability that the sample mean is within the accuracy limits
true or false: behavior may change because it is being observed and won't ever wear off over time.
false: may wear off over time
what is periodicity?
behavior may occur regularly and happen to take place (or not take place) in synch with observations
What is the Hawthorne effect?
People that know they're being watched change their behavior.
when should you especially use randomization with restrictions?
with small sample sizes (<30)
true or false: periodic sampling should only be used with very large numbers of observations (1000+)
true
advantages of using sampling to produce standard times
less costly, more flexible, includes daily and weekly variations, not affected by interruptions, lower training requirements, no stop watches/equipment, preferred by most operators, usually doesn't require performance rating, often highlights causes of problems.
normal time = ?
(total time worked*fraction time active*performance rating)/total number of pieces produced
what is a work measurement study?
the systematic application of industrial engineering techniques to establish the work content and time it should take to complete a task or series of tasks.
z for 95%
two tailed: 1.96
one tailed: 1.645
what three things does work measurement help uncover?
non-value added areas of work space, inconsistency, and non-standardization
which of the four work measurement techniques don't need to consider allowances?
work sampling
who came up with "a fair day's work for a fair day's pay"?
Frederick Taylor
what is a rating?
the pace of a motivated worker with sufficient skill and physical ability to do the job, working at a suitable pace that can be maintained through the shift and day after day
Difference between observed time, normal time and standard time
Observed time is the elapsed stopwatch time, calculate normal time element by element, apply allowances for standard time
personal allowance (__%)
fatigue allowance (__%)
delay allowance (__%)
5,4,3
NT = OT*R/100
ST = NT*(1.12)

(1+.12(work allowance))
Who developed MOST?
Kjell Zandin
General Move
ABG ABP A
Get Put Return
A, B, G, P
Action distance, body motion, gain control, placement
Controlled move
ABG MXI A
M, X, I
move controlled, process time, alignment
Tool Use
ABG ABP * ABP A
General workspace design principles
consider: functional requirements, visibility and hearing, clearances, reach and manipulation, various work postures, minimize safety hazards, fixed locations for work components, population stereotypes, psychosocial factors, specify environmental factors, total system, design for maintainability
3 types of workplaces
sit, stand, sit/stand
what is a work-space envelope?
three dimensional space within which a human works
work space envelope is dependent on:
type of manual activity, apparel, sitting or standing
normal area:
are that can be reached by the sweep of the forearm
maximum area:
area that can be reached by extending arm from the shoulder
squires area:
dynamic interaction of the forearms and elbow
4 principles of arranging components:
importance, frequency of use, functional, sequence of use
importance principle:
important components should be placed in convenient locations
frequency of use principle:
frequently used components should be placed in convenient locations
functional principle:
components should be grouped according to their function such as the grouping of displays, controls, or machines that are functionally related in the operation of the system
sequence of use principle:
in the use of certain items, sequences or patterns of relationships frequently occur in the operation of equipment or in performing some service or task
types of data used in arranging components:
basic human data, task analysis data, environmental data
true or false: power tools, properly sized and used, are still subject to fatigue
false.
advantages of tools:
extend force and strength capability, save strain on muscle, reduce gender/age/disability elimination
Important grip qualities:
compressible, nonconductive, comfortable, smooth, no hand marks left over
How to avoid Carpal tunnel/tennis elbow ect.
Maintain straight (neutral) wrist
Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS)
involves damage to nerves and smooth muscles of the blood vessels in the hand, reduction in blood flow to fingers, turn white, numbness, decreased sensitivity/dexterity
How to prevent HAVS
select tools with lowest level of vibration, properly maintain tools, use damping gloves, minimize grip force to control tool.
