    The document discusses work system design and measurement. It defines a work system as one where humans and machines perform work to efficiently produce products and services. Work system design involves defining and integrating human and machine roles and ensuring a fair distribution of work. Work system measurement covers tools to evaluate system outputs like time studies and productivity measures, which can range from stopwatches to big data systems. The goal is to create standardized work environments that optimize worker satisfaction and stakeholder value.

    Work Design and Measurement

    A Work System is a system in which human participants and/or machines perform work
    (processes and activities) using materials, energy, and information integrated with
    technology resources to efficiently and effectively produce products and provide
    services for internal or external customers. The objective is to create and measure
    performance of a standardized work environment that maximizes worker satisfaction
    while creating value for stakeholders. In this work systems, time is the critical currency.

    Work Systems Design involves the decomposition, definition, integration,


    recombination, and verification of human-machine systems, including the work
    methods, equipment, technology and work environments required to execute productive
    activities within an enterprise. Critical to the process is ensuring of the functions of a
    human resource(s) and machines are properly integrated into a fair day’s work.

    Work System Measurement covers the tools and techniques used to evaluate the
    output rates of a system including the time for average, well trained workers to carry out
    specified tasks given defined levels of performance defined work settings, as well as
    other productivity measures. Collecting and analyzing data can range from Stopwatches
    and Spreadsheets to more passive Big Data systems.
