• Sitting long hours
Ergonomics – Process of designing or arranging workplaces, products, and systems so
that they fit the people who use them.
Motion Study
- A systematic approach used to analyze and improve the efficiency of physical
movements performed by workers or machinery in a work environment.
- It aims to eliminate unnecessary motions, reduce fatigue, and increase productivity
by optimizing the way the tasks are performed.

Objectives
1. To improve the process of doing work.
2. To improve the design of workplace layout.
3. To find the best way of doing a job.
4. To ensure reduced health hazards.
5. To minimize the unnecessary human movements.
6. To have more effective utilization of material, machines, and workers.

Observations
• The first step in motion study is to observe and record the movement involved in
performing a task.
• This may involve direct observation by trained analysts or the use of video
recordings.
Time study involves recording the time taken to complete each individual motion or
element of a task.
This data helps quantify the efficiency of the process and identify opportunities for
improvement.

Work Sampling
- Involves taking random samples of work activities at various times to estimate the
frequency and duration of different tasks.
- This provides a broader perspective on the overall workload and helps identify
patterns in activity.

Analysis
- Once the data is collected, analysts analyze the movements and sequences
involved in the task.
- This includes identifying unnecessary or inefficient motions, such as excessive
reaching, bending, or walking, as well as opportunities to standardize and
streamline processes.

Process Standardization
• Based on the analysis, standard methods and procedures are developed to
minimize wasted motion and optimize efficiency.
• This may involve rearranging workstations, providing ergonomic equipment, or
redesigning tools and equipment to facilitate smoother workflow.

Training and Implementation


• Workers are trained on the standardized methods and procedures developed
through motion study.
• Supervisors and managers play a crucial role in ensuring that the new processes
are implemented effectively and consistently.

Continuous Improvement
• Motion study is an ongoing process of refinement and optimization.
• Regular review and evaluation of performance metrics help identify areas where
further improvements can be made.
1. Selecting the Task
2. Define Objectives
• Clarify the goals and objectives of the motion study.
• Determine what aspects of the tasks you want to improve, such as reducing cycle
time, minimizing fatigue, or optimizing workflow.
3. Collect Data
a. Observation
• Observe the task being performed in its natural setting.
• Record relevant information about the sequence of movements, tools used, work
methods, and environmental conditions.
b. Time Measurement
• Use time measurement techniques, such as time study or work sampling, to
quantify the time taken to complete each element of the task.
• This helps identify inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement.
4. Breakdown the Task
• Break down the task into its individual elements or motions. Identify each distinct
movement or action involved in completing the task.
5. Analyze Movement
a. Eliminate Unnecessary Movements: Identify and eliminate any unnecessary or
wasteful motions. This could include excessive reaching, bending, or unnecessary
tool movements.
b. Combine and Simplify Movements: Look for opportunities to combine multiple
movements into more efficient sequences. Simplify complex motions to reduce
time and effort.
6. Design Improved Methods
a. Standardization: Develop standardized methods and procedures for performing
the task efficiently. Establish best practices and guidelines that workers can follow.
b. Ergonomic Considerations: Ensure that the redesigned methods take into account
ergonomic principles to minimize physical strain and fatigue on workers.
7. Implement Changes
a. Training: Train workers on the new methods and procedures. Provide guidance
and support to ensure understanding and compliance.
b. Equipment and Tooling: Modify or upgrade equipment and tools as necessary to
support the new methods. Ensure that workers have access to the resources they
need to perform the task efficiently.
8. Evaluating Results
a. Performance Measurement: Measure the performance of the revised task using
the same techniques used during data collection. Compare the results to the
baseline data to assess improvements.
9. Document Findings and Recommendations
• Document the findings of the motion study, including the original and revised
methods, performance data, and recommendations for future improvements.
10. 改善 Kai (Change) Zen (Good) = Improvement
• Emphasize the importance of continuous improvement and ongoing monitoring of
the task. Encourage a culture of innovation and collaboration to drive further
efficiencies over time.
