What is the impact of greater reliance on technology on work measurement?

What will be an ideal response?

Technological change is a reason to reexamine work measurement techniques. For example,
when a firm increases its level of automation, its methods of work measurement must also change. The need to use traditional work measurement techniques to develop work standards is less for automated processes because many computer-controlled machines can gather data on their processes. Hence, standards for machines can be set without having to sample unit processing times. Application of the techniques discussed in this supplement can then focus on less prevalent activities that are largely controlled by the pace of workers.
