Synopsis
Excerpt from Motion Study for the Supervisor
It has long been evident that the major weakness of most motion-economy programs has been the enormous amount of detail involved in making original studies and in carrying these studies through to a proposed improved method. Because of the detail involved, most programs have become essentially a staff proposition, handled almost entirely by staff men and affecting the production supervisor only as the program affected the work in his immediate charge. Although the average supervisor has been exposed to motion study in some form or another, the subject usually has been so involved in detail as to make him doubt its practical value. Consequently, he does not fully accept motion study as a trustworthy tool of management and is inclined to be somewhat skeptical of the real value to be derived from its use.
