Work Study:
Work Study is a composition of techniques used to examine work, what is done so
that there is a systematic analysis of all the elements. Work Study is a systematic
technique of method analysis work measurement and setting of time standard that
can be ensured the highest productivity by the optimum use of manpower,
equipment & material.
Work Study is the investigation of work done in an organization in a systematic
process in order gain best possible use of men, materials and machines available at
present.
Work Study is one of the most powerful tools in Garmens Industry.

History Of Work Study:

FW (Frederic Winslow) Tailor who is called the father of scientific management is the
founder of work study. During Second World War USA many arms in short time. Then
Mr. FW Tailor applied work study concepts to make many arms in a short time and
got a tremendous result. His ideas were generated as they worked for various firms
and work study is being used everywhere. Now it is circumference is getting largely
day by day.

History of Work Study in Bangladeh:

Mr. Keith Harding form England started Work-Study in Bangladesh (Young One
Corporation) in 1991. Now it is contributing very well to increase the productivity in
Bangladesh.

Work Study Procedure: There are Two Techniques of Work Study.

1. Method Study
2. Work Measurement

Method Study:
The technique that subjects each operation of a given piece of work to close
analysis to eliminate every unnecessary material for the operation and to approach
the quickest and best method of performing each necessary element or operation. It
includes the improvement and standardization of methods, equipment and working
conditions, operator training, the determination of standard time, and occasionally
devising and administering various incentive plans.

Edition, ILO Geneva, 1992.

RECORD

Method Study is the systematic recording and critical

examination of production, service and business
processes in order to make improvements. Method
Study is more of a systematic approach to job design
than a set of techniques, It is defined as the systematic
recording and critical examination of existing proposed
methods of doing work, as a means of developing and
applying easier and more effective methods and
reducing costs.
Method Study is also known as Method Engineering.
Method Study is a job to achieve process improvement,
improve the layout, improve design, better working
environment, and reducing fatigue.

Objectives of Method Study:

EXAMINE

DEVELOP

1. Improvement products, processes and

procedures.
2. Improvement in the design of plant and
equipment.
3. Improvement of layout.
4. Improvement in the use of men, materials,
machines and money.
5. Improvement in the flow of production and
process.
6. Economy in human effort and reduction of
unnecessary fatigue.
7. Improvement in safety standards.
8. Development of better working environment.
9. Method Standardization.

Method Study Consist Of:

1.
2.
3.
4.

Methods engineering/work design.

Breakdown of operation into components.
Systematic analysis of each component.
Eliminates un-necessary operations.

Procedure for Method Study:

EVALUATE
