    Method study is a procedure for systematically evaluating work methods to improve productivity, efficiency, and quality. It aims to analyze how work is done and identify ways to minimize resource consumption while achieving goals. Key aspects of method study include examining activities, layouts, equipment usage, worker motions, and standardizing best practices. The objectives are to simplify processes, improve facilities and equipment, optimize resource use, develop better work environments, and train workers. Method study evaluates broad shop improvements as well as detailed motions of individual workers. The scope encompasses layouts, conditions, material handling, tooling, quality standards, operations, materials, power, and processes. Recommendations target short-term management changes as well as long-term facility investments

    Method Study: Definition and


    Concepts
    Submitted By: Mayank

    B.tech(M.E) III year
    Method Study may be defined as:
    “A procedure for examining the
    various activities associated with
    the problem which ensures a
    systematic, objective and critical
    evaluation of the existing
    factors and in addition and
    imaginative approach while
    developing improvements”.
    Concept:
    1.) Method study is basically conducted
    to simplify the work or working methods
    and must go towards higher productivity.

    2.) It is always desirable to perform


    the requisite function with desired goal
    minimum consumption of resources.

    3.) Method signifies how a work is to


    be done i.e. description of how we
    consume resources in order to achieve
    our target?
    Methods are integral part
    of work accomplishment
    and signify:
    1.) How well our methods utilize the
    limited available resources such as manpower,
    machines, materials and money.

    2.) How our methods physically affect


    production output of the unit.

    3.) The quality of output obtained by


    application of our methods.
    Objectives of Method Study:
    1.) The improvement of processes and procedures.
    2.) The improvement of factory, shop and work
    place layout and of the design of plant and
    equipment.
    3.) Improvement in the use of materials, machines
    and manpower.
    4.) Ile-development of better physical working
    environment.
    5.) To find the best way of doing a job.
    6.) To standardize the best method.
    7.) To train the individual worker in its practice as
    per standardized method.
    8.) Reduction of waste and scrap, improvement in
    quality.
    9.) Greater job satisfaction, higher standards of
    safety and health.
    Aspects of its application:
    There are 3 aspects of it’s application:

    (1) Method study is concerned with broad investigation


    and improvement of a shop/section, the layout of
    equipment and machines and the movement of men and
    materials.

    (2) Motion study is a more detailed investigation of


    the individual worker/ operator, layout of his machines,
    tools, jigs and fixtures and movement of his limbs when
    he performs his job. The ergomics aspect i.e. study of
    environment, body postures, noise level and surroundings
    temperature also form part of investigation.

    (3) Micro motion study i.e. much more detailed


    investigation of very rapid movements of the various
    limbs of the worker.
    Scope of Method Study:
    The task of work simplification and compatible work system
    design concerns the followings:

    (i) Layout of shop floor and working areas or


    work stations.
    (ii) Working conditions i.e. ergomics etc.
    (iii) Handling distances (material movement).
    (iv) Tooling and equipment used.
    (v) Quality standards to be achieved.
    (vi) Operators and operations in achieving the
    production targets.
    (vii) Materials to be used.
    (viii) Power required and available.
    (ix) Work cycle time.
    (x) Working processes.
    All these factors are related to method study
    and possible improvements may be:

    (a) Short term:


    The improvements which can be introduced quickly and
    economically. These may be concerned with management and
    work force.

    (b) Long term:


    The improvements which are not acceptable to management at
    present and which require good investment. Improvement
    approach to method design is essential since a method describes
    how resource are to be used in order to convert them into
    desired output (final products) in order to accomplish the
    purpose through a network of facilities.

    Operation and route sheets of production process contains in


    instructions that how a particular product/component can be
    manufactured. This usually contains the details about time
    required to perform the required operation.
