Movement analysis as an industrial training method

Abstract

By establishing a fairly standard pattern of foot movements (recordings were made on moving paper tape) through analyzing the performance of experienced workers while operating machines cutting tungsten rods, training procedures were instigated that effectively reduced training time. Wheel performance was increased and wheel breakage lowered. The training program proved beneficial for experienced operators as well. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
