ACTIVITY 1
Don't worry about failures, worry about the opportunities you miss when you don't try.
At least you try.
Jack Canfield

Objective:
Recognize the concepts of productivity, working conditions, engineering of
methods, industrial engineering and systems.
Distinguish the applications of methods engineering in working conditions and
productivity in the industry.

Instructions:

Before starting your assessment activity, it is important to read in detail the

next resources of week 1:

Readings

Study of methods (UTEL, 2021).

In this file, we can find all the methods used in the industry and all
the factors that affect productivity in companies.

Analysis and description of job positions (UTEL, 2021).

This document will address the importance of defining, in a clear and simple way, the
tasks that will be carried out in a specific position or role and the factors that are
necessary to carry them out successfully.

Presentation

Work study, methods engineering, and work measurement (García,

2007).

I. Relate both columns, noting in parentheses the letter that corresponds to the
correct answer.

CONCEPT DEFINITION
Manner in which the resources of the company are used;
A. PRODUCTIVITY (B) humans, raw materials, technological, etc.
Degree of compliance with the objectives, goals or
B. EFFICIENCY (C) standards, etc.
Technique aimed at increasing the
C. EFFICACY (E) productivity of work through the elimination of
waste of materials, time, and effort.
Degree of efficiency with which resources are employed
D. ERGONOMICS (A) available to achieve predetermined objectives.
Study of the influence of variables related to the
structure of the human being and of the conditions of
adaptation of a workplace, a machine, a
vehicle, etc., to the physical and psychological characteristics
E. WORK DESIGN (D) of the worker or the user.
Ergonomics seeks greater performance at work
starting from the humanization of the media to
produce it.

VI. Mention the concept of work organization and describe its three elements.
R=
The organization of work is the decision-making process by which the form is resolved in
the one that the organization (company) will carry out the tasks with which it must obtain its
products or services.
For an organization to be considered as such, it must have the following
elements:

Human group.
Resources.
