Following are the techniques of scientific management used by Sandhya :
1. Time study – Time study is a work measurement technique which is designed to determine the time taken by a qualified worker to carry out a specified task under specified conditions at a defined rate of working. The object of time study is to determine the number of workers to be employed and to frame suitable incentive schemes. The method of time study depends upon volume and frequency of the task, the cycle time of the operation and time measurement costs.
2. Motion study – Motion study is a technique which involves close observation of the movements of the body and limbs required to perform a job. The purpose of motion study is to eliminate useless motions and determine the best way of doing a job in less time. Motion study divides the motions into productive and unproductive motions. Motion studies may be made by using stopwatches, symbols or colours.
3. Simplication of work – It is a technique to eliminate superflous varieties, sizes and dimensions of products. It leads to reduced inventories, fuller utilisation of equipment and increased turnover to reduce costs.
