Lillian Moller GILBRETH and Frank Bunker GILBRETH worked together on giving special importance to the worker rather than other factors and applying social sciences to industrial management. By “giving special importance” I mean, creating an easy and efficient ambient to work.
The most known study of Gilbreths is time-and-motion study. Time-and-motion study improved methods to get more efficiency from industrial employees and increase the output. Their method created a systematic meaning to identifying and analyzing the number of movements and the time needed to complete the stated mission. Gilbreths publisher three books about the task, which are Motion Study(1911), Fatigue Study(1916) and Applied Motion Study(1917). Gaining maximum economy of effort was viewed and their study provided important tools for the design of modern manufacturing systems.
Frank Bunker Gilbreth also applied motion-picture photography to the study of surgical operations firstly.
Gilbreths pioneered industrial engineering which is now applied to all elements of factory operation.
