This paper explains the crucial role that Engineered Labor Standards play in modern manufacturing environments. It clearly outlines the differences that exist between Engineered Labor Standards and other less reliable methods of building labor expectations. The overall impact of Work Measurement is illustrated by explaining how it improves the decision making process. It clarifies why it is time for Industrial Engineers to come in defense of Engineered Labor Standards and to stop the spreading of this politically correct fantasy that says that we can effectively manage without Engineered Labor Standards.
