2. Time and Motion Study Time and motion study is a work measurement technique for recording the times of performing a certain specific job or its elements carried out under specified conditions. Time and motion study is a work measurement technique for recording the times of performing a certain specific job or its elements carried out under specified conditions. For analyzing the data so as to obtain the time necessary for an operator to carry it out at a defined rate of performance. For analyzing the data so as to obtain the time necessary for an operator to carry it out at a defined rate of performance.

3. Functions of Time and Motion Studies in Libraries Establish work standards in libraries. Establish work standards in libraries. Set expectations which are fair to both employee and Library.

Improve existing processes, tools or work environments of library. Improve existing processes, tools or work environments of library.

4. Determining schedules and planning of work. Determining standard costs of a particular work. Estimating the cost of a product before manufacturing it. Determining machine effectiveness. Application of Time and Motion Study

5. Time and Motion Study Equipment A stop-watch Time study forms A study board Other Equipments: Audio and Video Tape recorder Stationary Equipments related with particular field.

6. Preparing for a Time Study The steps in the process studied must already be standardized; e.g. sequences have been determined. The steps in the process studied must already be standardized; e.g. sequences have been determined. All the information about staff members should be available in library. All the information about staff members should be available in library. Operator must be fully qualified, trained, and acquainted with standardized process being studied. Operator must be fully qualified, trained, and acquainted with standardized process being studied. Must inform supervisor and department head. Must inform supervisor and department head. Make sure all materials are available for the process. Make sure all materials are available for the process.

7. Procedure of Time and Motion Study Secure and record information about the operation and operator being studied. Select operators Select operators (before you start study) Divide the operation into elements and record a complete description of the method. (before you start study) Assign particular work to operators Assign particular work to operators Observe operators performing task: record time taken for each element. Observe operators performing task: record time taken for each element. Rate the operator’s performance. Determine appropriate work standards. Determine appropriate work standards.
