Abstract/Summary:
The only way a business or an enterprise can grow or increase its profitability is by increasing its productivity. The fundamental tool which results in increased productivity is methods, time study and wage payment. Of particular interest to us is the aspect of Time and Motion study as it not only results in the increased productivity of the organization but also leads to an increased effectiveness and efficiency in terms of organizational objectives, as well as a safer work environment.; After an industry specific process has been identified and process analysis been carried out, the application of an Expert System to evaluate the standard time for that given process and sub processes as well as the systematic classification of the various processes based on basic motions (Gilbreths) presents us with a unique method for deriving an output for process classification. To facilitate the design of an expert system the use of NEUROSOLUTIONS™ has been adopted due to great versatility offered by this software.
