principles of motion economy, classification of moments two handed process chart,
SIMO chart, and micro motion study. Development, definition and installation of
the improved method, brief concept about synthetic motion studies.

3. Guess Who?

5. Micro motion study

6. Micro-Motion Study
• It helps in making detailed and accurate analysis of the current
technique
• Study the activities of the machine and the operator
• Technique of recording and analyzing the timing of basic elements of
an operation
• Consists of taking motion pictures of the operation with a clock in the
picture (or with a video camera running at a known speed)

7. Micro-Motion Study: Advantages
• Provides permanent record of motion study on film
• Provides very accurate time for each operation or motion in
comparison to stop watch time study
• Large number of operators can see the procedure at any time even
after the completion of motion study work
• These studies can easily reveal the difference between the present
and the proposed technique
• Films can be demonstrated to large work force at any desired speed
(fast/slow)

8. Micro-Motion
• The speed of the camera used range from 960 to 1000 frames per
minute. But faster cameras may be used to study very fast hand
motions or complex operations
• Micro-motion study should be used when it is economical to do so,
for example,
• Short cycle/highly repetitive operations
• Large volume productions
• Operations performed by a large number of workers

9. Memo-motion Study

10. Memo-motion Study
• In memo-motion study, the camera speed is at 60 to 100 frames per
minute
• It is a form of time lapsed cine photography
• Time interval lies between ½ sec to 4 sec
• 10 or 20 minutes may be compressed into 1 minute

13. Motion study and work design

14. Fundamental Hand Motions
• Gilberth observed that most work done by two hands consists of few
fundamental motions
• Each one of them is called as THERBLIG (name of GILBERTH, read in
reverse order)

50. Two Handed Process Chart

51. Two Handed Process Chart
• Two-Handed Flow Process Chart, is a motion study where the study is
done to analyse the motions used by the worker in performing an
activity.

52. Right Hand, Left Hand Chart
• Used for jobs such as assembly, machining, clerical job etc.,
• Operation: Represents the activities grasp, position, use, release
etc., of a tool, component or material
• Transport: Represents the movement of the hands or limbs to or
from the work or a tool or material
• Delay: Refers to the time when the hand or limb is idle
• Storage: also termed as ‘hold’ refers to the time when the work is
held by hand
• Inspection: Inspection by hand

53. Guidelines for preparing Two-Handed process
chart
• 1. Provide all information about the job in the chart
• 2. Study the operation cycle a few times before starting to record
• 3. Record one hand at a time
• 4. First record the activities of the hand which starts the work first
• 5. Do not combine the different activities like operation, transport
etc.,

54. Example – Assembling Nut, Washer & Bolt

57. Drawing Graph in graph paper

58. SIMO (Simultaneous-Motion Cycle) Chart

59. SIMO (Simultaneous-Motion Cycle) Chart
❖ "SIMO" is the graph of the simultaneous movement cycle.
❖ It is one of Gilbreth's micro motion study
❖ it provides the separable measures of each relevant operator's
limb under research graphically
❖ It is a very comprehensive graph of left and right procedure

60. SIMO (Simultaneous-Motion Cycle) Chart
❖ The SIMO Chart is the micro-motion form of the man type flow
process chart
❖It simultaneously records the different therbligs performed on a
common time scale by different parts of the body
❖ The motions are registered in "Winks" (1wink= 1/2000 minute)
against moment measured
❖ These are registered by a "Wink Counter" placed in such a place
that during the filming process it can be seen swinging
