1.     Benjamin Niebel and Andris Freivalds: Methods, Standards, and Work Design, 11th ed. McGraw Hill, 2003.

This course's objective is to enable students to understand history of method design and work measurement, methods design, process analysis, operation analysis. It also aims to familiarize students with human engineering, standardization, work measurement, pre-determined motion time system, standard data, work sampling.

1. Explain the appropriate use of work measurement data and demonstrate the correct procedures to establish valid performance standard data.
2. Integrate and design human factors principles into method studies to design and implement improved work methods and measurement techniques that enhance productivity within an organization’s management structure.
3. Systematically observe and evaluate work processes to identify inefficiencies and recommend improvements in work methods and working conditions.
4. Compare and assess specific work measurement methodologies, including Time Study, Work Sampling, and Pre-determined Time Systems, to select and justify the most suitable approach for various work scenarios.
