Abstract

Work study is most effective tool for any enterprise to determine standard time and increase the productivity. Time
and motion study method is useful for simplify the operation and reduction of operation whenever possible. Automation is
suitable for mass production but medium size enterprise it is not preferable. So Time and motion study technique is useful for
investigation of the process. And by this method we can categorize unnecessary activity and reduce them. This method leads
to modify in process layout for effective utilization of machinery and manpower for improving productivity. Work study
technique is not limited only to the manufacturing industries but it can also be implemented in various sectors like textile
industry, medical sector, bank, service organization and many more. This research work is carried out at Topland Engines
Pvt. Ltd
