The What, When, Why & How Of A Time And Motion Study
We gave NotebookLM our record breaking blog to see what happened when they turned it into a podcast...
We examine how modern time and motion studies expose hidden waste, translate seconds into savings, and protect sustainable pace. From Taylor and the Gilbreths to sensors and benchmarks, we map the methods, the maths, and the immediate actions that cut costs without cutting quality
• Spotting inefficiency in everyday work
• Time versus motion as separate measurements
• Resource planning using standard times and allowances
• Micro savings through layout and sequence changes
• Example maths for staffing and throughput
• Study types: activity, efficiency, role, predetermined
• History of Taylor and the Gilbreths
• Quantifying financial waste from poor scheduling
• Modern tech: video, sensors, software analysis
• Benchmarking click and collect performance
• Practical ergonomic and staffing changes
• Continuous improvement as the new one best way
Not only will our approach to a Time and Motion Study plot out exactly where you stand versus where you could be, but our analysts will provide practical steps on how to help you get there, saving you time, effort and, ultimately, money
