Methods analysis is most valuable for jobs that involve repetitive tasks or routines that can be standardized, that require a certain level of skill or expertise, and that may be subject to improvement through streamlining or reengineering. Therefore, choices I and IV are appropriate for methods analysis. However, jobs that involve creative or non-routine tasks, such as those in choice III, may not be suitable for methods analysis as their outcomes may not be easily quantifiable or subject to standardization.
