The technique was refined by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth (best known through the biographical film and book '' Cheaper By The Dozen ''). A time and motion study would be used to reduce the number of motions in performing a task in order to increase Productivity . The best known Experiment involved Bricklaying . Through carefully scrutinising a bricklayer's job, Frank Gilberth reduced the number of motions in laying a brick from 18 to about 5. Hence the bricklayer both increased productivity and decreased fatigue. The Gilbreths developed what they called Therblig s (an anagram of "Gilbreth"), a classification scheme comprising 17 basic hand motions. REFERENCES
