2. Frank and Lillian GilbrethLillian and Frank contributed extraordinary work in scientific management, they noticed in the
bricklaying where they worked at construction sites, that no two bricklayers used the same
method or the same type of motions so to improve the efficiency and work speed. The result was
extraordinary and efficiency shifted from 1000 to 2700. They developed, the laws of human
motion from which evolved the principles of motion economy. It was they who coined the term
'motion study' to cover their field of research and as a way of distinguishing it from those
involved in 'time study'; it is a technique that they believed should always precede method study.This still holds true today. The use of the camera in motion study stems from this time and the
Gilbreths used micro-motion study in order to record and examine detailed short-cycled
movements as well as inventing cyclographs and chronocycle graphs to observe rhythm and
movement.
