Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the largely unexplored realm of "motion study," a groundbreaking approach to analyzing and optimizing human movement in various tasks. The author argues that wasted motions are a significant source of inefficiency, impacting everything from manual labor to office work and even household chores. By meticulously studying the individual motions involved in tasks like bricklaying, the author demonstrates how a scientific approach can dramatically reduce wasted effort and increase productivity. This book outlines a systematic method for analyzing and improving work processes, applicable across diverse fields and industries. The potential benefits of motion study extend beyond mere efficiency. By minimizing unnecessary motions, workers can experience reduced fatigue, improved well-being, and even increased earning potential. This book offers a compelling vision of a future where work is performed with greater effectiveness and less physical strain. Ultimately, this book challenges us to re-examine the way we approach everyday tasks and recognize the profound impact that efficient movement can have on our lives and productivity.

Manthe' on the title-page.First edition, rare, of this pioneering work in scientific management. The field of 'motion study' was developed by engineer Frank B. Gilbreth and his wife, psychologist Lillian M. Gilbreth, in order to increase the efficiency of work processes through methods that promoted the welfare of the worker by enumerating motions, as opposed to timing actions. The analysis is divided into variables of the worker (including fatigue, nutrition, training), variables of the surroundings (such as clothes, lighting, quality of material), and variables of the motion (such as cost, effectiveness, necessity). This approach differentiated the Gilbreths philosophically from Frederick Winslow Taylor alongside whose 'time study' their work is often cited. The couple is better known as the protagonists of the book and film Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), written by two of their twelve children.
