Vast Field for Motion Study
Now tremendous savings are possible in the work of
everybody, — they are not for one class, they are not
for the trades only; they are for the offices, the schools,
the colleges, the stores, the households, and the farms.
But the possibilities of benefits from motion study in the
trades are particularly striking, because all trades, even at
their present best, are badly bungled.
At first glance the problem of motion study seems an
easy one. After careful investigation it is apt to seem too
difficult and too large to attack. There is this to be said
to encourage the student, however:
i. Study of one trade will aid in finding the result for
all trades.
2. Work once done need never be done again. The
final results will be standards.
Present Stage of Motion Study
We stand at present in the first stage of motion study,
i.e., the stage of discovering and classifying the best prac-
tice. This is the stage of analysis.
The following are the steps to be taken in the analysis:
1. Reduce present practice to writing.
2. Enumerate motions used.
3. Enumerate variables which affect each motion.
4. Reduce best practice to writing.
5. Enumerate motions used.
6. Enumerate variables which affect each motion.
