Description
Excerpt from Motion Study: A Method for Increasing the Efficiency of the Workman
The phrase "Motion Study" explains itself.
The aim of motion study is to find and perpetuate the scheme of perfection. There are three stages in this study:
1. Discovering and classifying the best practice.
2. Deducing the laws.
3. Applying the laws to standardize practice, either for the purpose of increasing output or decreasing hours of labor, or both.
Standardizing the trades is the world's most important work to-day, and motion study is the first factor in that work.
In presenting this material I have attempted to show the necessity for Motion Study and the savings that are possible by the application of its underlying principles.
