Work study is a field used to find ways of increasing job performance, optimum usage of plant and machinery, standardization of work methods, etc. . It is a systematic examination of the methods of carrying out activities to improve the effective use of resources and to set up standards of performance for the activities carried out. Work study is a collection of techniques used to examine work - what is done and how it is done - so that there is systematic analysis of all the elements, factors, resources, and relationships affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of the work being studied. Work study aims at improving the existing and proposed ways of doing work and establishing standard times for work performance. Work study uses techniques like method study and work measurement to understand human work potential in terms of time spent on completing a task, looking at ways to make the task simpler and easy, as to increase productivity and efficiency/8.%20Chapter%207%20-%20WORK%20STUDY%20%28TIME%20AND%20MOTION%20STUDY%29.pdf). The objectives of work study are to increase efficiency, improve product quality, choose the fastest method to do a job, improve the working process, reduce fatigue to operators and workers, and achieve effective labor control. The advantages of work study include an increase in production efficiency, higher levels of production and optimum utilization of resources, efficient flow of material and products, efficient handling of material and better layout, and decreased cost of production as times spent on the job is decreased/8.%20Chapter%207%20-%20WORK%20STUDY%20%28TIME%20AND%20MOTION%20STUDY%29.pdf).
