Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

TZ APPLIED MOTION STUDY the record, can be made at less cost than the far less accurate stop-watch study. This time study and motion study data can be used when it is “ cold.” No specially gifted observer, combined with the most willing and efficient recorder, can compete with it for observing and recording facts. It does not depend upon a human memory to “ give up ” its facts. It is usable at any time and forever, after it is once taken. Naturally, the re- quirements for refinement and the special set-ups to be used in any case must be determined after some study of the case in hand. There are now available, therefore, instru- ments of precision fitted to make measurements as fine as the most exact science demands,— eco- nomical enough to make both immediate and ulti- mate savings, and that meet the demands of the most exacting industrial progressive. When the time and motion study is taken with such instru- ments of precision, there are still other by-prod- ucts that are of more value than the entire cost of the time and motion studies.1 1 See “ Time Study; a Factor in the Science of Obtaining Methods of Least Waste.” See “ Psychology of Management,” Sturgis & Walton, New York.
