Work Study is the process of subjecting work methods, processes and procedures to systematic study in order to make it more effective and/or more efficient.

Work is selected for study on the basis of it being either an identified problem or an identified opportunity.

Originally designed for the analysis and improvement of repetitive manual work, analysis can also be used for all types of activity at all levels of an organisation.

We have experience in the use of a range of techiques to assess work practices, determine training needs and implement change in order to improve efficiency and maximise the potential of staff, equipment and premises.  

• Revision of work practices
• Workplace layout and design
• Changes to tooling or equipment
• Training requirement
• Job role structure
• Adjustment of staffing level
• Viability of incentive schemes

The overall objective of work study is to make work more effective or efficient and benefits may include:

• Increased productivity
• Improved quality
• Higher profitability
• Maximum throughput
• Reduced running costs
• Elimination of bad working practices
