Dimensional analysis of motion: X. Experimental evaluation of a time-study problem

Abstract

"The results show that the duration of a travel movement of fixed length may change as much as 50 per cent when it is associated with different forms of manipulation. Furthermore, the degree to which this travel movement changes during learning depends on the type of manipulative movement with which it is related. The results are discussed in relation to industrial time-and-motion study and in terms of their bearing on the general problem of integration of the component movements in motion."
