Good content, questionable printing quality Good explanation of traditional work measurement techniques and does discuss their application to support the "trendy" lean manufacturing techniques. As such, will help practioners of lean techniques to use a sound engineered/quantified approach. At times, seems like a commercial for author's consulting business. Page paper quality, photocopy pictures and illustrations are not professional quality. Price is questionable given printing quality.. Motion & Time Study for FAT Manufacturing Brice W Seifert Although this book has valuable information regarding traditional time and motion techniques, it does a poor job of addressing the lean manufacturing aspect. In today's dynamic manufacturing environment, the Industrial Engineer is forever pressed to increase throughput and reduce inventories rather than study time standards in infinite detail. Given these constraints, the fusion of more contemporary lean manufacturing techniques with traditional time and motion studies was severely lacking in this textbook.. "Manufacturing revolution" according to michael Ayeni. As time has progressed, manufacturing professionals have become more detail oriented due to the competition within the industry and also due to the high costs of production. With the concept of lean manufacturing being continuously improved, manufacturing will have a high % of efficiency. My goal is to see manufacturing processes have a 100% efficiency. This is a good book to use in undersstanding the big picture of lean manufacturing.
Some of the features of this text are:Illustrations and tables that support the concepts presentedEnd-of-chapter review questions that help users of the text review and master the material presented in each chapter.An appendix of useful forms that help users apply the concepts of motion and time studyNew to this edition of the text are:A chapter dedicated to the concepts of lean manufacturingAdditional charts, procedures, and forms that reflect the current theory and practices of the industry This textbook also serves as a perennial reference on the application of motion- and time-study techniques. . It covers other topics such as workstation design, successful attitudes, and goals for motion- and time-study people. From th
Practical, detailed advice is given on all aspects of motion and time study including work station design, job analysis, and the techniques of setting time standards. This how-to motion and time study book provides readers with a resource that describes the techniques and procedures of motion and time study. Motion and time study has finally found a home in the modern plant by helping employees to understand the nature and the true costs of work, assist management in reducing unnecessary costs, and balance work cells to make work flow smoother. This edition also includes a new section on ergonomics and the environmental aspects of the workplace, while continuing the hands-on approach of prior editions. A new chapter places motion and time study in the context of lean manufacturing. For engineers and plant managers.
