A time and motion study is a business efficiency technique that combines the task-timing methods of Frederick Winslow Taylor with the movement-analyzing methods of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. [1]

History of Time and Motion Studies

Origins (1880s–1890s): Frederick Taylor introduced stopwatch time studies at Midvale Steel Company to measure how long elementary operations take and set standard piece-rates. [1, 2]
Motion Study Pioneers (Early 1900s): Frank and Lillian Gilbreth used motion-picture cameras and broke down human actions into 17 fundamental elements called "therbligs" to find the single best way to perform a task. [1]
Scientific Management: These merged techniques formed the backbone of Taylorism, optimizing industrial manufacturing, construction, and administrative workflows. [1, 2, 3]

Future of Time and Motion Studies

Digital Tracking & Computer Vision: Modern tracking replaces manual stopwatches with IoT sensors, wearable tech, and AI-driven computer vision to map workflows continuously.
Data-Driven Ergonomics: Future applications focus heavily on reducing cognitive and physical fatigue using real-time biometric feedback rather than just raw speed.
Service & Knowledge Work: The methodology is expanding past factories into remote work analytics, software engineering pipelines, and healthcare optimization. [1, 2]

時間動作研究是一種提高企業效率的技術，它結合了弗雷德里克·溫斯洛·泰勒的任務計時方法和弗蘭克·吉爾布雷斯和莉蓮·吉爾布雷斯的動作分析方法。

時間動作研究的歷史：起源（19世紀80年代至90年代）：弗雷德里克·泰勒在米德維爾鋼鐵公司引入了秒錶計時研究，以測量基本操作所需的時間並設定標準計件工資。動作研究先驅（20世紀初）：弗蘭克·吉爾布雷斯和莉蓮·吉爾布雷斯使用電影攝影機，並將人類動作分解為17個基本要素，稱為“動作單元”（therbligs），以找到完成任務的最佳方法。科學管理：這些融合的技術構成了泰勒制的基石，優化了工業製造、建築和行政工作流程。時間動作研究的未來：數位追蹤和電腦視覺：現代追蹤技術用物聯網感測器、可穿戴技術和人工智慧驅動的電腦視覺取代了手動秒錶，以持續繪製工作流程圖。數據驅動的人體工學：未來的應用將重點放在…利用即時生物特徵反饋而非單純的速度來降低認知和身體疲勞。服務與知識工作：此方法論正從工廠擴展到遠距工作分析、軟體工程流程和醫療保健優化等領域。
