Time and Motion Study What, Why, and How-To

by Jack Greene

How long does the job take? Arguably, this is the most valuable fact for a business to know. Both direct and indirect labor costs rely on the required time, as do output, capacity, crew sizes, staffing, schedules, product cost, transfer prices, constraints, workload balance, on and on.

Let's also suggest that the answer must be both accurate and objective.

As with other professions, work measurement proficiency is gained through training and experience. This book explains what to do, why it is necessary, and how to do it; not only study techniques themselves, but also management and control actions to implement work measurement. Both practitioners and managers will learn from the guidance contained.

Since it is a good idea to reduce the amount of work required before it is measured, the chapters also contain improvement suggestions.
