Abstract

This paper focuses on the crucial side of productivity improvement with the proper use of work study technique combined with motion and time study in the activities of the manufacturing enterprises. The work study technique concept is used by the enterprises to reduce work in progress inventories and also to diminish the waste of available resources like man, machine, materials, space, etc. to reach in the competitive global market. In the today's world, quality with quantity is the main approach for an industry to retain its existence in the competitive market. Since, the technique of work study is very much required for management to understand its actual application not only from angle of productivity/financial improvement or proper utilization of resource, but also should address critically the soft side of workers psychology.
