Can you point out the differences between Time and Motion Study?

moosatp · 05-02-2013, 10:34 AM

Time study and Motion study are two aspects of work study. The main points of differences are:
(1) Motion Study involves the study of motions on an operation while the time study notes the time involved in carrying out each element of operation.
(2) The main aim of Motion Study is to reduce wastage of time and materials scraping the unnecessary movements whereas the time study aims at fixing the standard time for carrying out a job.
(3) Time study is not suitable for workers where quality is prime consideration. Motion study is suitable for all types of jobs.
