This book will provide a quick reference on Work Measurement. While the nature of the work may differ, measuring work is fundamental to any industrial or service activity. It's needed to determine such things as the amount a person should be paid, how much time should it take to perform an activity, what is an acceptable days work, or how any two or more methods or designs compare. This book provides non-industrial engineers with the why and the how work is measured in order to perform their jobs.
