Therblig System

The Therblig system is a method used in industrial engineering to analyze and improve work processes. It breaks down tasks into 18 basic movement types, such as reach, grasp, move, and release, to identify inefficiencies. By studying these small motions, engineers can optimize work sequences, reduce fatigue, and increase productivity. Developed by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth in the early 20th century, the Therblig system provides a systematic approach for detailed work analysis, helping companies design more efficient work methods and improve overall workflow.
