The Management Theory of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth

 INTRODUCTION x
• Frank and Lillian Gilbreth were a married American
Introduction couple. Both were engineers and had an interest in
scientific management, and Time and Motion Studies,
working at a time with Frederick Taylor, the Father
of Scientific Management. Together, they raised
twelve children in New Jersey. Frank and Lillian
Gilbreth valued efficiency by identifying and
Objectives replicating one best way to complete a task.

• Husband and wife Frank and Lillian Gilbreth believed

in regulation and consistency in the workplace.
Rather than encouraging a company of many working
parts, they valued efficiency above all else. The
Points couple believed that there is one best way to get any
job done, and the specific process should, when
identified, be replicated through the manufacturing
process, eliminating individual steps and producing
the most efficient results.

Frank stated, "The greatest
Introduction
misunderstandings occur as to the
aims of scientific management. Its
fundamental aim is the elimination of
waste, the attainment of worthwhile
desired results with the least
Objectives necessary amount of time and effort."

The couple placed high value on

efficiency when managing an
organization. Their management theory
Points outlined three main points: Reduce
the number of motions in a task,
Focus on the incremental study of
motions and time, Increase efficiency
to increase profit and worker
Pictures satisfaction.

POINT 1 x
Reduce the number of motions in a task
Frank and Lillian coined the term "therbligs," or elemental
Points motions required for tasks in the workplace. They used these 18 units to
analyze how tasks were completed – searching for an object with eyes or
hands, grasping an object with hands, assembling and disassembling two
parts, etc. From there, they'd figure out which motions were necessary,
then eliminate any unnecessary motions to increase efficiency.

POINT 2 x
Focus on the incremental study of motions and time
As engineers, Frank and Lillian closely studied motion
Points and time to calculate the most efficient way to complete a given
task. Taking the scientific approach, they measured time and
motion to 1/2000 of a second to understand what works best.
Their insight was unlike that of most other theorists, as they
channeled physical science rather than psychology.

POINT 3 x
Increase efficiency to increase profit and worker satisfaction
Your main goal as a leader should be increasing
Points efficiency in each individual employee, and in the organization
as a whole. Not only will this method save time, it will also
afford you a higher profit and happier workers.
