The Time Study

Time study is a systematic method used to measure the amount of time a worker takes to perform a specific task. By analyzing these times, organizations can identify ways to improve efficiency, set fair work standards, and optimize workflows. The process involves observing the worker, recording the time taken with precise tools, and then analyzing the data to understand typical performance. It helps ensure tasks are carried out consistently and can guide decisions on training, process improvements, and productivity targets, ultimately contributing to better resource management and operational effectiveness.
