Time and Motion Studies

Time and Motion Studies are systematic methods used to analyze how tasks are performed in order to improve efficiency and productivity. By observing and recording the time taken for each step of a process, these studies identify inefficiencies, unnecessary movements, and optimal methods for completing tasks. Originally developed in the early 20th century, they are widely applied in various fields, including manufacturing and service industries. The goal is to streamline processes, reduce waste, and enhance overall performance while ensuring quality and safety standards are maintained.
