Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Work simplification involves breaking down tasks into smaller, simpler tasks and standardizing and specifying them in detail for workers. This can increase efficiency and productivity but can also lead to dissatisfaction and monotony for workers. Cross-training involves teaching workers multiple tasks and job enlargement involves expanding the scope of a worker's job to include additional activities. Production efficiency is a broader concept that encompasses many factors beyond just task standardization.
