Establish fair levels of performance and pay a premium for higher performance.

Workers should benefit from higher output

To encourage workers to perform at a high level of efﬁciency, and to provide them with an incentive to reveal the most efﬁcient techniques for performing a task, Taylor advocated that workers should beneﬁt from any gains in performance. They should be paid a bonus and receive some percentage of the performance gains achieved through the more efﬁcient work process.

Taylor’s scientific method to establish work procedures resulted in reduced timeframes to perform jobs and introduced rules and procedures to industrial management. Taylor’s method became known as work study and it was embraced by several organizations. It was eventually also applied to office and administrative jobs and it became a precursor to systems analysis.

(i) Scientific Work Study

Work study refers to the systematic objective and critical examination of all factors influencing the efficiency of operations to improve thereon. It involves the measurement and improvement of work. This study includes Method study, Motion study. Time study and Fatigue study.

(a) Method Study: The purpose of this study is to maximise efficiency in the use of materials, machinery, manpower and capital by improving work methods. This study involves the critical examination of plant layout, product design, material handling and work processes, to minimise time, distance and cost involved in the transportation and storage of materials.

(b) Motion Study: This study refers to the study of the movements of an operator or a machine involved in a task with a view to eliminate superfluous or useless motions and to improve the others. This study is the science of eliminating wastefulness resulting from using unnecessary illdirected and inefficient motions.

(c) Time Study: This study refers to the study of the time taken to perform each operation of a job in order to find out the proper time that should be taken in doing the job. It is the art of recording, analysing and synthesising the time elements of any operation.

(d) Fatigue Study: Fatigue study seeks to find out how long a person can perform the standard task without adverse effect on his health and efficiency
