摘要:

The application of a previously developed method for fitting skill acquisition data with hyperbolic functions is shown by means of ft model and actual data. The hyperbolic function yields explicit information on prior practice. The ability to account for prior practice makes it possible to analyse experimental methodology in a more rigorous manner than previously possible. The error that may be inherent in typical procedures can be quantified. The errors are greatest at early stages of learning, smallest when learning is far advanced. From the equations, one can calculate the number of trials required before the error term is below a. specified value.

摘要:

In studying the activities of 274 shop floor hourly operators during a period of 16 months, the evidence indicates that during a period of equitable payment system the number of grievances decreased 31 times, labour turnover 16 times, lateness 6 times and absenteeism nearly 3 times while at the same time productivity increased by 22% in comparison to an equivalent period of inequitable financial incentive payment system. These improvements are attributable to the relative and not absolute financial compensation of the operators.

摘要:

Under the present labour conditions of Japanese industry, this study takes as its goal the development of new production systems which have a high rate of production efficiency through heightening awareness of human factors. Furthermore, this report presents new methodology and a number of models which analyse the relationship between motivation and those various factors of production systems which influence motivation. This paper discusses the findings of the investigations of typical Japanese enterprises using this method.
