Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

THE EFFECT UPON THE WORKERS 205 those standards, particularly with emphasis on eliminating interference of many wrong habits ac- quired in trade learning prior to conscious effort for motion economy. It is, therefore, clear that during the period of making motion studies the effect of them upon the worker is educative to the highest degree, for not only does he become inter- ested in what he does, but he learns to think of all activity in terms of motions and elements of motions. The by-products of this are also impor- tant, as he is always able afterwards to learn new work much faster and with comparatively little coaching, and as he has that success that usually attends the work of one who knows the least wasteful method of attack of learning the new problems or performing the new task. The effects of motion study are particularly striking upon the observer or the man actually making the studies. This is true not only dur- ing the time of making the observation, but also during the time spent in embodying the data de- rived in simultaneous cycle motion charts and in motion models. These motion models, which are wire representations of the paths of the motion, made from the stereoscopic records derived from
