Lesson 46 : Work Simplification

Definition

A given task is simplified by applying the scientific management techniques even at home. The Scientific management tells us how to analyse different jobs and identify what is inefficient. Nickell and Dorsey defined work simplification as “the conscious seeking of the simplest, easiest and quickest method of doing work”. Gross and Crandall defined it as “accomplishing more work within a given amount of time and energy or at reducing the amount of either one or both to accomplish given amount of work”. It implies proper blending and management of two important resources namely time and human energy.
