Answer: Motion study is the technique of scientific management in which the movements of a worker while doing a job are studied to eliminate unnecessary motions.

It was developed under F.W. Taylor’s scientific management (and by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth). The movements involved in a job are observed, recorded (often with cameras) and analysed. Unnecessary, wasteful movements are removed and the best way of doing the job is found. This reduces fatigue, saves time and increases the productivity of workers.
