Abstract/Contents: | "Work study should be a 'friend', to both men and management, but this can only be so provided that:-(a) There is an increase in productivity (b) Costs are reduced (generally through a reduction in labor) and (c) Profits are increased. It is a 'foe' if (a) the running cost of the scheme (including administration, work study officers, job checkers, supervisors and salaries at bonus payments) exceed the original expenditure or fail to achieve the target savings of between one-quarter and one-third or (b) standards are caused to deteriorate... In this context 'work study' includes the work study officers, work measurement, method study, and bonus incentive schemes." Gives definitions of the following: work study, method study, work measurement, job specification, work programming, and bonus incentive schemes. Includes an oversight on management, the effects of the introduction of work study on grounds maintenance, and the profit from the application of work study. |
