Utility of Motion and Time Study

Motion Study is designed to determine to best way to complete a repetitive job for particular domain

Time Study measures how long it takes an average worker to complete a task at a normal pace Motion and time study can reduce and control costs, improve working conditions and environment, and motivate people.

The basic purpose is to improve the work and to reduce waste.

1. Motion analysis techniques
2. Time study techniques

Manufacturing management and engineering students are being prepared to design work stations, develop efficient and effective work methods, establish time standards, balance assembly lines, estimate labor costs, develop effective tooling, select proper equipment, and layout manufacturing facilities.

History of Time & Motion study

Motion Study

Frank B. Gilbreth, Lillian M Gilbreth

-1885,

Frank B Gilbreth and Lillian M Gilbreth begun to design motion study by using cameras to look at how body motions were used in the process of completing a job. This helped them to improve the processes and rearrange setups. That was known as motion study. Concept is to have smooth and easy motion to improve capability of performer and get more out of time investment done by that particular resource towards their given tasks.

Time Study

Frederick W. Taylor

-1881,

Frederick W Taylor started to design time study by stop watch and 2 clock method, Time studies were once used to establish performance-based wage rates and their capability.

Both study get merged and known as " Time and Motion Study " after decade.

What is Time & Motion Study ?

Time and Motion study was found in 18th century by Frank B. Gilbreth, Lillian M Gilbreth.

Time and Motion study is detailed analysis of a specific work or job in an effort to find the most efficient method in terms of time and Motions base process.

The Motion and time study is very important at industrial engineering, industrial technology, and industrial management programs because the information that time studies generate affects so many other key areas, including the following:

A. Cost estimating
B. Production and inventory control
C. Plant layout
D. Materials and processes
E. Quality
F. Safety
