Theory X People lack motivation People are basically lazy People only work because they
have to

Theory Y People are interested in goal
accomplishments People have the potential for
creativity People have many skills and
potentials

Theory Z William G. Ouchi’s This theory explores the differences
between the Japanese and American management systems.
Japanese system is designated as J type American system is designated as A type U.S. organizations that have some
characteristics of the Japanese organizations as Z type Examples: IBM, Eastman-Kodak, Hewlett-Packard

Theory Z Characteristics of Z type
organizations Employment must be stabilized
This means employment security Unions must be involved but not in an
adversary relationship A system for slow evaluation and
promotion should be developed

Job Design Success
Successful Job Design must be: Carried out by experienced
personnel with the necessary training and background
Consistent with the goals of the organization
In written form Understood and agreed to by both
management and employees
![Page 16: 7 Design of Work Systems McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Management, Eighth Edition, by William J. Stevenson Copyright © 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56649e385503460f94b289b1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Specialization in Business: Advantages
For Management:
1. Simplifies training
2. High productivity
3. Low wage costs
For Labor:
1. Low education andskill requirements
2. Minimumresponsibilities
3. Little mental effortneeded
![Page 17: 7 Design of Work Systems McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Management, Eighth Edition, by William J. Stevenson Copyright © 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56649e385503460f94b289b1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Disadvantages
For Management:
1. Difficult to motivatequality

Behavioral Approaches to Job Design
Job Enlargement Giving a worker a larger portion of the
total task by horizontal loading Job Rotation
Workers periodically exchange jobs Job Enrichment
Increasing responsibility for planning and coordination tasks, by vertical loading
![Page 19: 7 Design of Work Systems McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Management, Eighth Edition, by William J. Stevenson Copyright © 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56649e385503460f94b289b1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Motivation and Trust Motivation
Influences quality and productivity Contributes to work environment
Trust Influences productivity and employee-
management relations

Teams Benefits of teams
Higher quality Higher productivity Greater worker satisfaction
Self-directed teams Groups of empowered to make
certain changes in their work process

Methods Analysis
Methods analysis Analyzing how a job gets done Begins with overall analysis Moves to specific details
![Page 22: 7 Design of Work Systems McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Management, Eighth Edition, by William J. Stevenson Copyright © 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56649e385503460f94b289b1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Methods Analysis
Changes in tools and equipment Changes in product design
or new products Changes in materials or procedures Other factors (e.g. accidents,
quality problems)
The need for methods analysis can come from a number of different sources:
![Page 23: 7 Design of Work Systems McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Management, Eighth Edition, by William J. Stevenson Copyright © 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56649e385503460f94b289b1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Methods Analysis Procedure
Identify the operation to be studied Get employee input Study and document current method Analyze the job Propose new methods Install new methods Follow-up to ensure improvements
have been achieved
![Page 24: 7 Design of Work Systems McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Management, Eighth Edition, by William J. Stevenson Copyright © 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56649e385503460f94b289b1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Analyzing the Job
Flow process chart Chart used to examine the overall
sequence of an operation by focusing on movements of the operator or flow of materials
Worker-machine chart Chart used to determine portions of
a work cycle during which an operator and equipment are busy or idle

Motion Study
Motion study is the systematic study of the human motions
used to perform an operation.
![Page 27: 7 Design of Work Systems McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Management, Eighth Edition, by William J. Stevenson Copyright © 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56649e385503460f94b289b1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Motion Study Techniques
Motion study principles - guidelines for designing motion-efficient work procedures
Analysis of therbligs - basic elemental motions into which a job can be broken down
Micromotion study - use of motion pictures and slow motion to study motions that otherwise would be too rapid to analyze

Cautions and Criticisms
Learning rates may differ from organization to organization
Projections based on learning curves should be viewed as approximations
Estimates based the first unit should be checked for valid times
![Page 41: 7 Design of Work Systems McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Management, Eighth Edition, by William J. Stevenson Copyright © 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56649e385503460f94b289b1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Cautions and Criticisms
At some point the curve might level off or even tip upward
Some improvements may be more apparent than real
For the most part, the concept does not apply to mass production
