E) Boring and repetitive jobs

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Industrial engineering focuses on optimizing complex processes or systems by improving productivity and efficiency, often through simplification and streamlining of tasks. This approach can lead to increased efficiency (A), reduced complexity (B), and the ability to train almost anyone quickly and easily (D), as tasks are standardized. However, it may also result in jobs that are boring and repetitive (E), as the focus is on efficiency rather than enriching the job role. Therefore, increased meaningfulness (C) is not a likely outcome, as the simplification of tasks can strip away the aspects of a job that might provide a sense of purpose or challenge to the employee.
