Abstract
In today's sometimes static and sometimes dynamic business environment, management personnel are continually faced with handling work load increases, operating costs, efficiency and control of business operations. With the use of work measurement techniques, management personnel have been given a means of handling these factors. | With the various work measurement techniques available, management personnel are able to take a scientific approach to the management of their business operations and resources. Reduced costs could result from work measurement, in that manpower and material requirements can more accurately be determined for the present and future along with their corresponding costs. As a result of an installation of work measurement, possible improvements in work flow in the business operations exist because of a more thorough understanding of the various operations. Work measurement can also give management personnel a new control over business operations. With this added control, present day problems could be more readily identified and dealt with quicker and future preventive actions could be easier to develop and maintain.
