Time & Motion Study is a structured and data-driven approach used to analyze, measure, and improve the efficiency of operational workflows and manpower utilization. It helps organizations systematically identify and eliminate inefficiencies, enabling smarter resource deployment and improved operational performance.
By observing and evaluating how tasks are performed on the shop floor or in service environments, we help businesses unlock hidden potential in their day-to-day operations.
Time Study: Involves measuring the time taken to perform each task or process element. It helps identify bottlenecks, delays, and variations, enabling realistic benchmarking and standard time setting.
Motion Study: Focuses on analyzing the physical movements of workers to eliminate unnecessary actions, reduce fatigue, and streamline tasks. It enables the design of ergonomic, efficient workflows.
Together, Time & Motion Study provides deep insights into how work is done, where time is spent, and how it can be optimized.

Cycle time for each process and operator is accurately recorded using video-based observations to reflect real-world working conditions.
The recorded footage is analyzed to break down the workflow into individual process elements, enabling precise measurement of time spent on each activity and its contribution to value creation.
Minimum sample size of 30% is considered to eliminate any bias. The study accounts for all relevant variables, including operator skill levels, shift patterns, and process variability, to derive an accurate and representative cycle time.
Each activity is further categorized into Value-Adding (VA) and Non-Value-Adding (NVA) components—such as transportation, waiting, and unnecessary motion to pinpoint areas of inefficiency.
Spaghetti Diagrams are used to visually map operator movement and material flow, while the Transportation Index is applied to quantify and measure travel distances, highlighting opportunities for layout and process optimization.
