Work System Design Designing a work system is part of developing an operations strategy The work system includes: Job design Work measurements Worker compensation

Job Design What is the job’s description? What is the purpose of the job? (Why?) Where is the job done? Who does the job? What background, training, or skills are required to do the job? When is the job done? How is the job done?

Additional Job Design Factors Technical feasibility: Whether the job is within physical & mental capabilities of the workforce Economic feasibility: Whether the cost of performing the job is less than the value it adds Behavioral feasibility: Whether the job is intrinsically satisfying

Should the Job Be Automated? Safety & risk of injury to workers Repetitive nature of the task (monotonous?) Degree of precision required Complexity of the task Need for empathy, compassion, or other emotional elements Need for personal customer relationships

Specialization of Labor Management’s View Advantages: Readily available labor Minimal training required Reasonable wages costs High productivity Disadvantages: High absenteeism High turnover rates High scrap rates High number of employee grievances filed

Specialization of Labor Employee’s View Advantages: Minimal credentials required Minimal responsibilities Minimal mental effort needed Reasonable wages Disadvantages: Boredom Little growth opportunity Little control over work Little room for initiative Little intrinsic satisfaction

Eliminating Employee Boredom Job enlargement Horizontal expansion of the job by increasing the scope of the work assigned, e.g. two person assembly cells replacing a four person assembly line Job enrichment Vertical expansion of the job by increased worker responsibility Adding work planning or inspection to a routine assembly task Job rotation Shifting of cross trained workers to other tasks Broadens understanding and can reduce fatigue

Job Design with Work Teams Problem-solving teams: Small groups, trained in problem-solving techniques. Used to identify, analyze, & propose solutions to workplace problems Special-purpose task forces: Highly-focused, short-term teams with a focused agenda (often cross-functional) Self-directed or self-managed teams: Team members work through consensus to plan, manage, & control their assigned work flow

Alternative Workplaces Alternative workplaces are made possible by technologies like email, e-networks, cell phones, & video conferencing. Current situation: More than 30 million employees work in alternative workspaces A survey at IBM reveals that 87% of alternative workplace employees believe their effectiveness has increased significantly Sun Microsystems gives many of its designers the option to work at home GE sales people work from home and hotel offices

Methods Analysis A detailed step-by-step analysis of how a given job is performed Can distinguish between value-added & non-value-added steps Analysis can revise the procedure to improve productivity or quality After improvement, must revise the new standard operating procedure Follow-up to insure that changes actually improve the operation

Picks up wire in left hand and moves it to the terminal Methods Analysis at FEAT Company: The methods analyst has been asked to review the transformer wiring operation because of past quality problems from poor solder joints. The solder operation sequence and the workstation layout are shown below. Picks up wire in left hand and moves it to the terminal Simultaneously picks up solder iron in right hand and moves to the terminal Solders wire to terminal and replaces solder iron in holder Solders terminal #1, then #2 - #6, going right to left

Analyst’s Recommendations: A Analyst’s Recommendations: A. Maize reviews the workplace layout and the present flow chart (below), and recommends reversing the solder sequence from #6-#1, which is less problematic for the right handed operator. He schedules a follow up to insure that the new method has fixed the quality problem.

Worker Compensation Systems Compensation is the third part of work system design Time-based plans (day pay) versus output-based systems (incentive pay) Group incentive plans: profit sharing & gain sharing Plans put part of a worker’s salary at risk Does the compensation system undermine teamwork? Does plan prevent free-riders not doing their fair share? Does the incentive plan encourage workers to support the long-term health of the organization?
