Abstract

Kapitalist üretim tarzında artı-değer oranını artırma konusunda sürekli bir arayış vardır. Tarihsel süreçte, iş yasalarıyla çalışma gününe mutlak artı-değer üretimine bir üst sınır getirilmeye başlanması ile birlikte emek yoğunluğunu nispi artı-değer artırarak artı-değer oranını artırmanın yolları aranır olmuştur. Bu konu, endüstri mühendisliği disiplininin temel ilgi alanlarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Bu mühendislik kolu emek yoğunluğunu artırma konusunda bir son noktaya ulaşmış değildir. Belirli bir zaman diliminde harcanan emek yoğunluğuna kısıtlama getiren herhangi bir yasal düzenlemenin olmadığı bir ortamda, insanın fiziksel ve ruhsal kapasitesinin sınırlarını zorlayıcı çalışma düzenleri kurulmaktadır. Bu çalışma, endüstri mühendislerinin gündeminde yer alan tartışmalar üzerinden, nispi artıdeğer üretimi konusundaki güncel gelişmeleri irdelemeye çalışmaktadır

Abstract

In the capitalist production process, intensive efforts have been continuously expending with the aim of increasing the rate of surplus value. Alternative ways have been searched in order to increase the relative surplus value rather than absolute surplus value, since the work days have been limited by labour laws within the historical development. This subject is one of the basic research fields on which the industrial/manufacturing engineering disciplines have been studying intensively. This branch of engineering discipline has not come to an end in its endeavour to intensify the labour, yet. There is a lack of regulations putting limitations on labour intensity in a specific part of time. Such a labour intensive environment damages physical and psychological capacity of human being unavoidably. This paper investigates the current discussions about this topic among industrial engineers
