Solution manual for Work Systems The Methods, Measurement & Management of Work by Mikell P. Groover

Divided into two major areas of study – work systems, and work methods, measurement, and management – this guidebook provides up-to-date, quantitative coverage of work systems and how work is analyzed and designed. Thorough, broad-based coverage addresses nearly all of the traditional topics of industrial engineering that relate to work systems and work science. The author’s quantitative approach summarizes many aspects of work systems, operations analysis, and work measurement using mathematical equations and quantitative examples.
