Work Simplification: Manufacturing study of production method with the purpose of reducing time
effort and production cost of a product or a specific task.

Job Simplification: A statement of employee characteristics and qualification required for satisfactory
performance of defined duties and tasks comprising a specific job or function. Job specification is
derived from job analysis.

Job design technique in which jobs are broken into relatively simple tasks. It aims at greater productivity
through reduced application of mental and/ or physical effort. See also time and motion study.

Job Simplification: Job Simplification includes evaluating the work processes methods and procedures,
for multiple workers performing the same task.

Be sure to include any task is required to do. Such as ergonomics concerns; reaching, bending, twisting,
lifting, and standing for extended periods of time.

The use of video recording of the target job is a very effective tool for later studies and analysis. Often
time there is more observed on the video from those familiar with the job, than what they see each day.
This can be a true eye-opener for those responsible for the work process.

Counting the number of steps and the frequency taken to perform the task throughout the shift can be
another great-surprise. The goal in this situation is to minimize the distanced and frequency traveled

BOTTON LINE:

Job simplification begins with observation listening and asking.

>what is working well and what is not.

>what is causing extra cycle time?

>Is there excess travel?

>Is there any searching for parts or material or information?

>Is there any sharing of small tools or small equipment?

>If yes to any of these questions, then find out why.

Simplifying the job brings the training of new employees. As well as cross-training of exsisting employees
much easier

Job Simplification:

Job simplification is a design method whereby jobs are divided into smaller components and
subsequently assigned to workers as whole jobs. Simplification of work requires that jobs be broken
down into their smallest units and then analyzed. Each resulting sub-unit typically consists of relatively
few operation . this subunits are then assigned to the workers as their total job. There appears to be two
major advantage in using job simplification. First since the job requires very little training, they can be
completed by less costly unskilled labour. Second, job speed increases because each worker is
performing only a small portion of the previously large job and thus is able to master a smaller, less
complicated job unit. On the negative side, job simplification results in workers experiencing boredom,
frustration, alienation, lack of motivation and low job satisfaction. This in turn, leads to lower
productivity and increased cost.

Job Enlargement: Job enlargement expands job horizontally. It increases job scope; that is, it increases
the number of different operations required in a job and the frequency with which the job cycle is
repeated . By increasing the number of tasks an individual performs, job enlargement, increases the job
scope, or job diversity. Instead of only sorting the incoming mail by department, for instance , a mail
sorter’s job could be enlarged to include physically delivering the mail to the various department or
running outgoing letters through the postage meter.

Efforts at job enlargement have met with less than enthusiastic results. As one employee who
experienced such a redesign on his job remarked, Before I had one lousy job. Now , through
enlargement, I have three . So while job enlargement attacks the lack of diversity in overspecialised
jobs, it has done little to provide challenge or meaningfulness to a workers activities.

Job Rotation: Job rotation refers to the movement of an employee from one job to another, jobs
themselves are not actually changed, only the employee are rotated among various jobs .An employee
who works on a routine job moves to work on another job for some hour/day/months and returns back
to the first job. This measure relieves the employee from the boredom and monotony, improves the
employee’s skills regarding various jobs and prepares worker’s self-image and provides personal growth.
However, frequent job rotation are not advisable in view of their negative impact on the organization
and the employee.

Job enrichment: Job enrichment, as it is currently practiced in industry, is a direct outgrowth of
Herzberg’s Two factor theory of motivation. It is, therefore, based on the assumption that in order to
motivate personnel, the job itself must provide opportunities for achievement recognition,
responsibility, advancement and growth. The basic idea is to restore to jobs the elements of interest
that were taken away under intensive specialization. At this stage it may be necessary to draw a
distinction between job rotation, job enlargement and job enrichment. Job enrichment tries to
embellish the job with factors that Herzberg characterized as motivators: achievement, recognition
increased, responsibilities, opportunities for growth, advancement and increased competence. There is
an attempt to build into jobs a higher sense of challenge and achievement, through vertical job loading.

Job automation: Companies today find themselves in an increasingly competitive local, regional and
global marketplace. Business have to focus on staying profitable while managing heightened credit risk
and narrowing margins. Keeping in view the challenges of our business environment, EBL has developed
a range of cash management products and solutions that accelerate inflows, maximize liquidity, reduce
