5.1. A Quick Look to History of Motion and Time Study Frank B. Gilbreth, Lillian M Gilbreth -1885, he begun to develop motion study. Gilbreth invented motion study designed to determine the best way to complete a job Frederick W. Taylor -1881, he started to develop time study Taylor designed Time Study; it measures how long it takes a worker to complete a task. Frank and Lillian Gilbreth used cameras to look at how body motions were used in the process of completing a job. This helped them to improve the processes and rearrange setups. Time studies were once used to establish performance-based wage rates.

5.2. The General Strategy of Motion and Time Study Motion Study is designed to determine the best way to complete a repetitive job

5.2. The General Strategy of Motion and Time Study Time Study measures how long it takes for an average worker to complete a task at a normal pace

5.2. The General Strategy o Motion and Time Study Motion and time study helps management determine how much is produced by workers in a specific period of time, therefore making it easier to predict work schedules and output. Motion and Time Study is a scientific method designed by two different people for the same purpose, to increase productivity and reduce unit cost. The two methods evaluate work and try to find ways to improve processes.

5.3. Tools Used Today Computers Bar codes Accustudy Software… Some of the tools used today include those mentioned above. Computers are very efficient because everything is recorded and with the touch of a button full reports can be generated.

5.3. Tools Used Today

5.3. Tools Used Today Motion Study Time study Improve methods It measures distance, or how much you move to do a job, and how much you get done in a period of time Time study Establish standards Looked at the average time it took an average worker

5.3. Tools Used Today Estimating Performance records Stopwatch time study Standard data Time study formulas Work sampling schedules Cycle Time: The period required to complete one cycle of an operation; or to complete a function, job, or task from start to finish. List on book from Niebel pg. 669

How to use Motion and Time Study in your Organization Manufacturing Office Banks Department Stores Hospitals …………………. Companies have discovered that they can use Motion and Time Study to improve their business in many ways. The manufacturing industry uses the Motion and Time Study to reduce wasted time and improve the time to complete a task. This is the type of process Taylor studied and was able to improve. As new aspects of business evolve, so do Motion and Time techniques. Now Offices, Banks, Department Stores, and Hospitals use Motion and Time Study. Offices use it to measure and simplify work in order to reduce costs. Banks use it to help team members reach their sales goals.They can implement a time study to analyze the amount of time wasted helping customers that could get their answers from a customer service representative instead of calling a branch, where the personal banker or teller has to help the customers at the branch and make sales. In the real world example, I will talk about how a hospital has used Time study to improve their human resource department.

How do you decide if you need to do a Motion and Time Study Are production costs too high(is there a problem)? Why is there a problem? How can it be solved? Which alternative is better? Choose the best alternative These questions need to be answered before deciding to use motion and time study.

Example:

After Time Study and Line balancing Production İncrease %5

5.4. Basic Steps in A Time Study

5.4. Basic Steps in A Time Study 1. ESTABLISH THE STANDARD PROCEDURE A. SELECT OPERATOR AND OPERATION TO      STUDY     B. GET A NORMAL PERSON (PREVIOUSLY TRAINED IN TASKS AT HAND) 2. BREAK DOWN JOB INTO ELEMENTS -- E.G., PICK UP WHEEL, PLACE ON GRINDER, START GRINDER, ETC. 3. DO THE STUDY 4. RATE THE WORKER'S PERFORMANCE
