Featured Lean Definition
JOB ENLARGEMENT:
Extending the parameters of the job being performed by an employee in order to make the work more psychologically rewarding. A job may be extended in two dimensions - horizontal and vertical. Horizontal job enlargement can take the
form of a greater variety of tasks on which the employee works, an increased number of tasks and job rotation.
Vertical job enlargement, or job enrichment, usually takes the form of more planning, more controlling or more team participation on the part of the job incumbent. The additional controlling aspects may include self-pacing as well as inspections. This form of enlargement involves building motivators into the job. (See Z95.15 ORGANIZATION PLANNING &THEORY)
