  1. Motion and Time Study“Time study is the one element in scientific management beyond all others making possible the transfer of skill from management to men…..”–Frederick W. Taylor Operations Management 345 Mayra Calderon Dr. Foster May 2003

  2. Overview • Motion and Time Study Defined • History • Details about Motion and Time Study • Motion and Time Study in your organization • Real World Example • Summary of Presentation • Reading List

  3. What is Motion and Time Study • Motion Study is designed to determine to best way to complete a repetitive job • Time Study measures how long it takes an average worker to complete a task at a normal pace

  4. History of Motion and Time Study • Frank B. Gilbreth, Lillian M Gilbreth -1885, he begun to develop motion study • Frederick W. Taylor -1881, he started to develop time study

  5. History of Motion and Time Study • Used Separately • Became interrelated

  6. History of Motion Study • Bricklaying • Tools Used • Motion camera

  7. History of Time Study • Started at a machine shop • home with his family • Tools • Stopwatch & Clipboard

  8. Tools Used Today……. • Computers • Bar codes • Accustudy Software

  9. Details of Motion and Time Study • Motion 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

  10. Computing Standards • Estimating • Performance records • Stopwatch time study • Standard data • Time study formulas • Work sampling schedules • Queuing theory

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

  12. 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

  13. Real World Example ACompany Using Time Study Cooper Hospital/University Medical Center • Problem • HR Personnel was not very accessible to employees at the hospital • Hard to reach the right person to answer questions • Inefficient voice-mail system

  14. Real World Example ACompany Using Time Study Cooper Hospital/University Medical Center • Tools Used • Bar-coding system • Computer Other • Determining the busiest time of the day • Establishing categories

  15. Real World Example ACompany Using Time Study Cooper Hospital/University Medical Center • Discoveries • Majority of calls were for appointments • Many calls from outside sources for job verification

  16. Results Continued….. • Implementations • New systems • New positions • Improving service and costs

  17. Motion and Time Study Problem • There is a group of students stuffing envelopes. They have to put three different color-coded pages in the envelopes(red, white, orange).

  18. Motion and Time Study Problem

  19. Motion and Time Study Problem • Compute the standard time • Compute number of envelopes stuffed in one hour

  20. Solution • To compute the standard time Adjust the normal cycle with an allowance factor of 10 percent ST= (NT)(1-AF) = (.1189)(1-.10) =.1070 min To compute number of envelopes in one hour 60 min/.1070min/envelope= 560 envelopes an hour

  21. Summary of Presentation • This presentation looks at Motion and Time Study as a method to reduce costs and increase productivity. • The history of Motion and Time Study • Details of Motion and Time Study

  22. Summary of Presentation • Reasons to implement Motion and Time Study in your organization • The use of Motion and Time Study at Cooper Hospital/University Center • An Exercise
