They deal with the skills of systematic recording and critical examination of existing and proposed way of performing work, as well as establishing standard times for completing prescribed tasks at a defined level of performance.

The aim of this programme is to introduce students to the skills of Work Measurement & Methods Engineering. Students will become familiar with the processes to establish standard times for operations, to plan outputs, to form and re-form work groups, to balance workloads, to plan delivery times, and to control costs. 

The skills training will include both theory and practical elements. Graduates of this programme will be eligible to progress to the Certificate in Work Measurement and Methods Engineering, Level 8 Special Purpose Award programme.
