Work Study: The Pioneering Technique of Improving Value for Money and Productivity

Work study, under the major discipline of industrial engineering, emerged as the earliest effectiveness and efficiency technique that even to date remains the basic to all other techniques that developed later. Work study was the sequel to Taylor's famous scientific management.

Work Study is defined as the systematic examination of the methods of carrying on activities so as to improve the effective use of resources and to set up standards of performance for the activities being carried out.

Work study has two major branches:

• Method study
• Work measurement

Method study and work measurement will be described in my subsequent posts.
