Methods engineering is a subfield of industrial engineering concerned with analyzing and designing work methods, systems, tools, equipment, layout, and environment to lower costs and increase productivity and reliability. The key steps in methods engineering include project selection, data acquisition, data analysis to understand current processes, developing an ideal method, and presenting and implementing the new method which may involve pilot studies and replacing documentation.

Data Analysis
Purpose
Data analysis enables the
methods engineer to make
decisions about several things.

Knowing the specifics (who,
what, when, where, why, and
how) of product manufacturing
assists in the development of an
optimum manufacturing
method.

Ideal Method Development
Purpose
Evaluate Alternatives and Select
the Best. This step consists of a
systematic assessment of the
alternatives and the selection
of the best solution among
them.

Implementation
Meaning
installing the selected solution:
introducing the changes
proposed in the existing
method or operation, or
installing the new method or
process.
