Time and motion study

Time and motion study

1. Time study developed in the direction of establishing standard times.

2. Time studies involved breaking down each job into component parts, timing each part and rearranging the parts into the most efficient method of working.

3. Time and motion study goes like this: 1. Look closely at what you’re doing. 2. Spot opportunities to be more efficient. 3. Make a change to the way you work to do it. 4. See if it produces the expected results. 5. Rinse and repeat.

4. Procedure for a direct time study: 1. Define and document the standard method. 2. Divide the task into work elements. 3. Time the work elements. 4. Evaluate the worker's pace relative to standard performance. 5. Apply an allowance to the normal time to compute the standard time.

5. A comprehensive time study consists of: 1. Study goal setting; 2. Experimental design; 3. Time data collection; 4. Data analysis; 5. Reporting.

6. Motion study evolved into a technique for improving work methods.

7. Is a business efficiency technique combining the Time Study work of Frederick Winslow Taylor with the Motion Study work of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth.
