Divided into two major areas of discussion – work systems, and work methods, measurement, and management – this guide provides up-to-date, quantitative coverage of work systems and how work is analyzed and designed. Includes 30 chapters organized into six parts: Work Systems and How They Work; Methods Engineering and Layout Planning; Time Study and Work Measurement; New Approaches in Process Improvement and Work Management; Ergonomics and Human Factors in the Workplace, and Traditional Topics in Work Management. Addresses the “systems” by which work is accomplished, such as worker-machine systems, manufacturing cells, assembly lines, projects, and office work pools. Summarizes many aspects of work systems, operations analysis, and work measurement using mathematical equations and quantitative examples. For professionals in the area of industrial engineering.

Practical and useful book for Lean leaders and Plant Managers 2006-11-05
This is one of my favorite reference books as a Plant Manager while taking Lean initiatives, such as Standard Work and Continuous Improvement. I found that the quantitative sections are very useful to enhance analytical skills to take effective actions.
Two suggestions to future versions. Firstly, a CD-ROM containing the working sheets in book will reduce work to duplicate by readers. Secondly, more quantitative examples are required to clarify concept in detail so that it might expedite learning (at least in Chapter 2 to 4).
Overall, I recommend it to Lean leaders and Plant Managers.
