Study Notes
Scientific Management
- Time and motion study is a major part of scientific management.
Time and Motion Study
- A time and motion study is a systematic observation and recording of the actions and activities of workers to identify inefficient movements and wasteful activities.
- It aims to find the most efficient way of performing a task.
Development of Time and Motion Study
- Time study developed into work measurement, which is used to determine the standard time required to perform a task.
- Motion study evolved into motion economy, which focuses on the efficient use of body movements and the reduction of fatigue.
Integrated Approach to Work System Improvement
- The integrated approach to work system improvement is known as Industrial Engineering.
- Industrial Engineering aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire work system, including the worker, machine, and the environment.
