Abstract :
MR. W. G. GROOCOCK: Our lecturer to-night has told us a considerable amount about the way a time study should be taken. He has also suggested why it should be taken, but there is one side of it which, I think, he did not quite emphasise sufficiently, and that was not so much from the rate-fixing as from the efficiency point of view. If there are a number of operations, it is practically impossible to get a fair time unless we do take some form of time study. Now, I do not think it matters much just what the form of the study is. There are so many ways of doing this that, just as Mr. Wilson has said, there is no best way of doing a job. I think we can say that there is no best way of taking a time study.
