Planned Job Observation

Planned Job Observation is a tool for observing conditions
and practices in an organized and systematic way. It enables the
observer to know whether or not the worker is performing all aspects
of a specific task the correct way. They are to be recorded in a
manner sufficient for review following the observation.

Steps in Planned Job Observation

1. Worker and Job Selection
• Inventory of the worker (KSA; Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities)

• Right worker for the right job.

2. Preparation

• Deciding Which Tasks To Observe
Job or Task - is a segment of work, a specific work
assignment, a set of actions required to complete a
specific work objective
Use Factors Like:
• Frequency

• Severity
• Deciding Who To Observe
1. The New Man
2. The Poor Performer
It has been tested and proven that planned observation done to a worker
who has a reputation as a poor performer has helped him improved to a point
where his work is making a positive, recognized contribution.

3. The Risk-Taker
These are the workers who had experienced doing the job repeatedly
and with pride to acknowledge openly that they can do the job on their own way;
it may not be the standard, but it gets things done for them on time and, after all,
“nothing has happened yet.”
4. The Worker with a Known Ability Problems

They are those worker who can do the job pretty well but manifest some
physical or mental problems, known or suspected, that could cause the
supervisor to question a worker’s ability to do a job
5. The Good Performer
These are workers whom we could considered assets. Their execution of
techniques and methods could help others do their work more efficiently.
