Course Description:

There is no right way to do a wrong thing. To prevent inefficient ways to work, the time study analyst is concerned fundamentally with the speed at which the operation is performed and the method, or way, the operation is performed. The analyst is also responsible for studying worker motions, dividing the job into fundamental elements, eliminating useless motions, improving the sequence of motions, and determining better, more efficient methods for workers to follow.
