Efficiency Through Motion Study

Your boss is analyzing every tiny move you make, from grabbing a pen to clicking

your mouse. It’s called Motion Study, a system designed to make you work

faster. Experts break down your job into basic motions called "therbligs"—like search,

grasp, and hold. Fun fact: "therblig" is the inventor's name,

Gilbreth, spelled backward. The goal is to eliminate unnecessary movements and design the most

efficient workflow possible to maximize productivity. It’s why your tools are placed just

so. So next time your job feels robotic, remember: every single step was

likely engineered to make you a human machine.
