Vidyadip · Accepted Answer

Three major techniques of principles of scientific management are discussed below:
$1.$ Time study:

The scientific study of time required for completion of a task is called time study.
The time decided on the basis of the study to finish this work under normal circumstances is called standard time for that time i.e. whenever a task will be done in that unit, it will be done within this standard time.
As per Taylor, a task should be finished within the standardized time.
Time study is very important for making optimum use of production equipment and achieving objectives on stipulated time.

$2.$ Motion study:

The study done to understand the motion of man and material during the given task is called motion study.
Motion study is done to remove wastage of resources that occurs due to unnecessary and unproductive movement of men and material.
For example, due to flaws in the method or design of the unit or. flaw in the assembly line the worker or material might be moving more than necessary. This causes fatigue among workers and wastage of resources such as electricity, fuel, etc.
By performing motion study systematically, the fatigue of workers can be removed by removing wrong process of movement and productivity can be increased.

$3.$ Differential wage-rate study:

A referential wage-rate system is a method of wage payment in which after tests a standard time for any task is being set. The worker gets a high wage- rate for completing the job within the allotted time and lower wage-rate for / completing the job beyond the allotted time.
Frederick Taylor favored this motivational wage method.
Each worker working in factory has different work efficiency. Considering this fact, efficient worker should get more wages whereas workers having less efficiency should get lower wages.
