9. Product engineering refers to the process of designing and developing a device,
assembly, or system such that it be produced as an item for sale through some
production manufacturing process. It is an engineering discipline that deals with
both design and manufacturing aspects of a product.
Project management is the practice of initiating, planning, executing, controlling,
and closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific success
criteria at the specified time.
Production control is the activity of monitoring and controlling any particular
production or operation.
Industrial engineering is concerned with the optimization of complex processes,
systems, or organizations by developing, improving and implementing integrated
systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy and
materials.
Inventory refers to all – raw materials, partially finished products, finished
products prior to sale and departure from the manufacturing system.

10. Facility layout considers available space, final product, safety of users and facility and
convenience of operations. It ensures that there is a smooth and steady flow of
production material, equipment and manpower at minimum cost.
Factory operations involves manufacturing systems integration and safety management.
Tooling involves tool fabrication and repair processes.
Transportation is a key element of the logistics process and the supply chain which runs
from vendors through to you to your customers. It involves the movement of product,
service/speed and cost which are the three key issues of effective logistics.
Training is putting the time and resources needed to upskill and reskill workers to fill any
gap.
Quality management ensures that an organization, product or service is consistent. It has
four main components: quality planning, quality assurance, quality control and quality
improvement.
Finance involves accounting and reporting and strategic financial management.

22. Benefits of work study

23. Advantages of work study
❖ Increase in production efficiency.
❖ Higher levels of production and optimum utilization of resources.
❖ Efficient flow of material and products.
❖ Efficient handling of material and better layout.
❖ Decreased cost of production as times spend on the job is decreased.
❖ Increased morale of workers with an increase in safety and efficiency.
❖ Benchmark and standard performance level are established, thus providing targets for
organization.
❖ Better job satisfaction and incentive planning due to work study.
