Fundamentals of Work Measurement: What Every Engineer Should Know

This is a brief guide for engineers, business managers, and those responsible for supervising industrial and service activities. It covers the basics on work measurement techniques and procedures so that individuals not trained as Industrial Engineers can understand and use the techniques. It also provides the scientific principles behind measuring work. All engineers are engaged in designing work and evaluating designs no matter what their specialization is. All engineers must understand the work design process and how to measure in terms of time requirements and efficiency. No book like this currently exists. The rationale is to provide information that "every engineer should know".
