what is time and motion study.understand work measurement.
In this video I will discuss “Time and Motion Study” by solving one practical problem
Meaning of Time and Motion Study:
Time study is defined as a work measurement technique for recording the times and rates of working for the elements of a specified job carried out under specified conditions and for analyzing the data to determine the time necessary for carrying out the job at a defined level of performance.
Motion study implies dividing the work into fundamental elements or basic operations of a job or a process with the object of eliminating unnecessary or defective elements in a job. After investigating all movements in a job, process or operation it finds out the most scientific and systematic method of performing the operation or completing the job.
Thus, time study fixes the standard time for a job or a process while motion study eliminates wasteful motions or the movement of a worker on the job. Both are complimentary to each other.
Objectives of Time and Motion Study:
Objectives of time and motion study are:
1. They eliminate unnecessary motions, fatigue, and seek to improve human efforts in doing a job.
2. They bring about improvement in method, procedure, techniques and processes relating to a job.
Objectives of time and motion study are:

2. They bring about improvement in method, procedure, techniques and processes relating to a job
. They make effective utilization of materials, machines, human resources.
4. They also improve layout and design of plant and equipment and working environment.

Benefits of Time and Motion Study:
The following benefits are derived by the Management from time and motion study:
1. Optimum utilization of materials, plant, labour and financial resources is possible.
Labour requirements can be properly assessed.
3. Determination of fair wage rates and effective wage incentive schemes can be determined.
4. Setting of labour cost standards and control of the labour cost are possible.
5. Labour budgets can be prepared.
6. Job can be standardized.
7. Improvement in work methods by making comparison between time taken to complete a job and time taken to complete the same type of job under different methods.
8. Effective cost control and proper planning can be made with the help of time and motion study.
Treatment of Some Items of Motion Study:
(i) Overtime:
The Gilbreths included several variables while studying how to increase efficiency. Some of them are health, skills, habits, temperament and nutrition. In the book Gilbreth and Gilbreth, the two experts explain that motion study looks at the fatigue that workers experience then finds ways to eliminate it. They recommended solutions like rest-recovery periods, chairs and workbenches.
Implementation of the scientific management theory was one of the first instances that process improvement and process management were treated as a scientific problem.
Application of Time-Motion Study in Today's Business
Every task you do, except for thinking, requires some movement. Whether it’s typing code, plugging in a pressure washer or sketching and building plan, movement is key. It’s why’s the time & motion study is applicable even in the modern environment.
By analysing how employees operate, and the time they spend, a company can pinpoint where the problem is. Removing inefficiencies increases the productivity of your staff.
For example, finding a better way to manufacturer a car means that production time reduces and output increases. Excessive motion is the biggest cause of time wastage. Completing a task in ten steps, when seven could have easily accomplished the same results means that a worker is wasting a lot of resources.
Implementation the Study Improves Processes
With proper implementation time-motion study allows you to improve processes and optimization of performance. Better working methods boost efficiency and decrease fatigue in workers. Effectiveness not just about how hard you work, but how smart.
Time-motion theory enhances resource planning and allocation.
