- Motion Study
- Time and Motion Study

- Studying the motions required to
complete a task, devised a way to
break the task down into component
motion, and found the most efficient
and effective manner to do the work.

11. Time and Motion Study
- Is a business efficiency technique
combining:
 Time Study (Taylor)
 Motion Study (Gilbreth)

12. Therbligs
- It is a reversal of the name Gilbreth,
with 'th' transposed.
- Therbligs are 17 kinds of elemental
motions used in the study of motion
economy in the workplace.

13. Lillian Moller Gilbreth

efficiency of work and the reduction
of fatigues of the workers giving

environment.

15. Fatigue Study
- A study how to eliminate fatigues in
