    Time and motion study

    Introduction to What is Time & Motion Study?

    Time & motion study is a technique used by engineering as well as other industries to increase their task efficiency by simplifying the process and setting. It was originally applied in the manufacturing industry to improve production, but has now been adopted by all industrial applications. The system divides the duties between workers and managers; the engineers work on the optimization of the operations while the workers carry out the tasks assigned to them.
    Time and motion study was adopted rapidly in the engineering industry to inspect the quality of work plans, equipment, and efficiency of the workers.

    Key applications of time & motion study

    Time and motion study is the evaluation and thorough analysis of performance, time management, and efficiency for a task. This was adopted by all industries as a means to improve the overall performance by dividing all tasks among the workers in a rational amount to yield better results.

    To explain in simpler terms, the studies can be summed as with the following steps-

    • Analyze and reflect on what you are doing.
    • Figure out the loopholes and find the nooks that can be improved.
    • Make changes in your process according to your findings.
    • Check if it gives you better results.
    • If it doesn’t then improvise and repeat the process.

    Benefits of time & motion study

    1. The steps may seem small but if done correctly, you will see a significant change in the outcomes. These studies reduce redundant tasks, help you manage time better, and boost efficiency overall.  
    2. It gives you a new perspective on how you have been doing the work. You will find yourself analyzing the regular tasks with a keener sense. This helps you catch the mistakes you have been making or just find a better way of getting the work done. 
    3. Time and motion study also makes you question all your decisions regarding your work. You start reevaluating your priorities, goals, and commitments. This would help you have a clear vision of where you want your business heading but also set doable short-term goals. 
    4. The basic requirement for any work task is to have a crisp idea in your mind. By asking yourself the right questions, you have a practical step-by-step process in your mind. You can experiment with the idea to get the best results.

    Applications of time & motion study with examples-

    There are various industries and sectors where time and motion study are applied to boost results. We have elaborated the most common ones with examples to help you understand –

    1. Optimization of the process & methods: We at Shiva Engineering believe that results depend upon the foundation. If there are loose ends in the process, then you might not get the desired outcome. Time and motion study urges you to examine even the minute details and implement changes where needed as soon as possible. 
    2. Improvising the layout and resources: No matter which industry you belong to, getting the proper resources and area is important. You might think about how the layout affects performance but think about it. Every business model has unique requirements, finding the place suitable for you might take a while but you shouldn’t rush the process. 
    3. Technology, work teams, and divisions: Technology has become quite a whirlpool. It’s easy to get overwhelmed among it all. Testing out relevant technologies would be the right first step. Next would be to create teams so you can divide work based on their best skills. 
    4. Reduction of unnecessary tasks: By grouping the tasks, you would cut down on the unnecessary tasks. This saves you and your workers time and gives them a clear idea of what they are working towards. With a crystal view of the goal, they would be motivated to perform better.
