Time and Motion
Study

A time and motion study


would be used to reduce
the number of motions in
performing a task in order
to increase productivity

Smart Warriors 2
Time and Motion
Study: Defined

 A method created to determine


the ‘correct time’ it takes to
complete a certain task
 A method to establish ‘the one
best way to perform a task’

Time Study
 Definition
Acc. to ILO:”TIME STUDY is the work
measurement for recording the time &
rates of working for the elements of a
specified job carried out under
specified conditions & for analysing
the data so as to obtain the time
necessary for carrying out the job at a
defined level of performance.”

Objectives of TIME
STUDY
 The main objective is “to determine by
direct observation, the quantity of
human work in a specified task &
hence to establish the standard time,
within which an average worker
working at a normal pace should
complete the task using a specified
method.”
 Other Objectives:-

Time and Motion
Study: Objective

The objective of the Time and Motion


Study is to determine a ‘normal’ or
average time for a job, by using
observers to record exactly how much
time is being devoted to each task.

How do you decide if you
need to do a Motion and
Time Study
 Are 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

How to use Motion and Time
Study in your Organization
 Manufacturing
 Office
 Banks
 Department Stores
 Hospitals

Smart Warriors 12
Time and Motion
Study: In your
Organization
Historically: T&M
Studies were used in
the manufacturing
industry to evolve pay
scales with the thought
that money was the
only motivation for
work

Smart Warriors 13
Time and Motion
Study: In your
Organization
 Today:
– T&M Studies can be effective for
performance evaluations
– T&M Studies can be used for planning
purposes in order to predict the level of
output that may be achieved
– T&M Studies can be used to uncover
problems and create solutions
– T&M Studies can be used for time cost
analysis

How it Works Step-by-Step

1. Establish the
standard job
method.
2. Break down the
job into elements
3. Study the job.
4. Rate the worker’s
performance

Time and Motion
Study: Problems cont’d

Workers may not cooperate with a time and motion study:


1. They may resent the study if it is being used to determine
the pay scale
2. Workers may change the rate at which they work
3. Pressure may increase mistakes made
4. Workers may alter normal work methods to disrupt the study
