3 All the information about staff members should be All the information about staff members should be available in in library. Operator must be fully qualified, trained, and Operator must be fully qualified, trained, and acquainted with standardized process being with standardized process being studied. Must inform supervisor and department inform supervisor and department head. Make sure all materials are available for the sure all materials are available for the of time and motion StudyProcedure of time and motion study Secure and record information about the operation and operator being studied. Select operatorsSelect operators Divide the operation into elements and record a complete description of the method. (before you (before you start study )start study ) Assign particular work to operatorsAssign particular work to operators Observe operators performing task: record time Observe operators performing task: record time taken for each for each element.

4 Rate the operator s performance. Determine appropriate work appropriate work standards.
