The manager needs to know that the logic of work analysis and the analysis of job structure are two different logics. One is the logic of work; the other, the logic of working.
The last and most common misunderstanding of the industrial engineer is the belief that work analysis is the whole job. It is only the first step in making work productive. Analysis identifies individual specific operations, their sequence, and their interrelationships. It deals with pieces. It is not concerned with the process of production as a whole, with its structures, its economy, or its performance.
(Drucker, 1974, p. 202-203)
