Abstract

Job analysis is an important process that can help organizations to improve a variety function that are performed. The method that can be adopted for job analysis varies from simple qualitative technique to detailed quantitative one. Whereas theoretical concepts provide inputs on all these techniques, in practice, many of the detailed methods are either not adopted or used only remotely in most of the organizations. The paper deals with a practical case of an electronic equipment manufacturing organization depicting the process of job analysis through work break-down structure and ranking of the job elements.
