The Gilbreth Organization

The Gilbreth Organization refers to the legacy of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, who were pioneers in the field of industrial engineering and management. Active in the early 20th century, they focused on improving workplace efficiency and productivity through time and motion studies. Their work aimed to analyze tasks to eliminate unnecessary movements, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing fatigue. The Gilbreths also emphasized the human element of work, advocating for better working conditions and worker satisfaction. Their innovative methods laid the groundwork for modern practices in ergonomics, industrial management, and even psychology in the workplace.
