Micromotion study refers to the analysis of a series of very short motions succeeding each other so rapidly that the eye confuses them, often used for the reconstruction of an action through an analysis of its micromotions.
A time-and-motion study involves measuring the time and movements required to complete specific job tasks. First advocated by Frederick W. Taylor in his book Scientific Management, such studies aim to create a management standard for evaluating individual employee productivity.
