Abstract: Method study is a process in which work is critically and systematically examined in order to develop more efficient and easier ways to accomplish the task. It involves systematic recording and scrutinized inspection of existing and proposed ways of doing work for developing more effective methods and thereby reducing the overall cost. Simplification of work or the working methods to achieve higher productivity is the basic motive of method study. In this paper, we have analyzed the process of method study, and the different techniques used for recording work. We have also examined the various applications of recording techniques based on the type of job and the accuracy required.
