- that the results are applied to all men equally;
- that all get an ample compensation for what they do;
- that under them general welfare is considered; the objections to such study will vanish.
Motion Study Is Determining Methods of Least Waste.
— Motion Study is the dividing of the elements of the work into the most fundamental subdivisions possible; studying these fundamental units separately and in relation to one another; and from Page 106 these studied, chosen units, when timed, building up methods of least waste.
Time Study Is Determining Standard Unit Times. —
Time study consists of timing the elements of the best method known, and, from these elementary unit times, synthesizing a standard time in which a standard man can do a certain piece of work in accordance with the finally accepted method.
Micro-motion study is timing sub-divisions, or elements of motions by carrying out the principles of motion study to a greater degree of accuracy by means of a motion picture camera, a clock that will record different times of day in each picture of a moving picture film together with a cross sectioned background and other devices for assisting in measuring the relative efficiency and wastefulness of motions. It also is the cheapest, quickest and more accurate method of recording indisputable time study records. It has the further advantage of being most useful in assisting the instruction card man to devise methods of least waste. 11
Motion Study and Time Study Measure Individual Efficiency. — Motion Study and Time Study measure individual capacity or efficiency by providing data from which standards can be made. These standards made, the degree to which the individual approaches or exceeds the standard
