• Job design involves specifying the content and methods of job– What will be done– Who will do the job– How the job will be done– Where the job will be done– Ergonomics: Incorporation of human
factors in the design of the workplace
Job Design
![Page 5: Design of Work Systems. Learning Objectives Explain the importance of work design and the relationship between Job design and production planning. Explain](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e165503460f94b00593/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment, and workplace to fit the worker. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability.

Design of Work Systems
• Specialization
• Behavioral Approaches to Job Design (Job expansion)
• Teams
• Psychological components (Motivation-Trust-Incentive system)
• Methods Analysis– Motions Study
• Working conditions
![Page 7: Design of Work Systems. Learning Objectives Explain the importance of work design and the relationship between Job design and production planning. Explain](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e165503460f94b00593/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Specialization
Specialization:The main reason for specialization is the ability to concentrate one’s efforts and thereby become proficient at that type of work.e.g. College professors often specialize in teaching certain courses, some auto mechanics specialize in transmission repair.
![Page 8: Design of Work Systems. Learning Objectives Explain the importance of work design and the relationship between Job design and production planning. Explain](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e165503460f94b00593/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Specialization in Business: Advantages
For Management:
1. Simplifies training
2. High productivity
3. Low wage costs
For Labor:
1. Low education andskill requirements
2. Minimumresponsibilities
3. Little mental effortneeded
![Page 9: Design of Work Systems. Learning Objectives Explain the importance of work design and the relationship between Job design and production planning. Explain](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e165503460f94b00593/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Disadvantages
For Management:
1. Difficult to motivatequality
2. Worker dissatisfaction,possibly resulting inabsenteeism, highturnover, disruptivetactics, poor attentionto quality
For Labor:1. Monotonous work
2. Limited opportunitiesfor advancement
3. Little control over work
4. Little opportunity forself-fulfillment

Behavioral Approaches to Job Design
• Job Enlargement– Giving a worker a larger portion of the
total task by horizontal loading
• Job Rotation– Workers periodically exchange jobs
• Job Enrichment– Increasing responsibility for planning and
coordination tasks, by vertical loading

Selecting an Operation
• Selecting a job to study consider:– High labor content– Done frequently– Unsafe– Tiring– Unpleasant– Noisy– Designated problem (e.g. quality problems,
processing bottleneck)
![Page 26: Design of Work Systems. Learning Objectives Explain the importance of work design and the relationship between Job design and production planning. Explain](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e165503460f94b00593/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Analyzing the JobJob analysis requires thought about “what, why, when, where, and who of the job”.
•Flow process chart– Chart used to examine the overall sequence of an
operation by focusing on movements of the operator or flow of materials (it can be used to indentify nonproductive parts; e.g. delays, temporary storages)
•Worker-machine chart– Chart used to determine portions of a work cycle
during which an operator and equipment are busy or idle

Motion Study
Motion study is the systematic
study of the human motions used
to perform an operation.
![Page 36: Design of Work Systems. Learning Objectives Explain the importance of work design and the relationship between Job design and production planning. Explain](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e165503460f94b00593/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Motion Study Techniques• Motion study principles - guidelines for
designing motion-efficient work procedures
• Analysis of therbligs (เทอร์�บลิ�ก) - basic elemental motions into which a job can be broken down
• Micromotion study - use of motion pictures and slow motion to study motions that otherwise would be too rapid to analyze
• Charts
• Therbligs

2. Combine activities
3. Reduce fatigue
4. Improve the arrangement of the workplace
5. Improve the design of tools and equipment

– Compensation based on time an employee has worked during a pay period
• Output-based (incentive) system– Compensation based on the amount of
output an employee produces during a pay period
