Time Study
It determines the standard time taken to perform a well-
defined job.
The objective of time study is to determine the number of
workers to be employed; frame suitable incentive schemes
and determine labour costs.

Method Study:
Method study is the study to find out one best way of doing
the job.
The objective is to minimise the cost of production and
maximise the quality and satisfaction of the customer.

differentiates between efficient and less efficient workers.
It rewards the efficient workers and motivates the less
efficient ones to improve their efficiency.
In this plan, there are two piece rates – one for those
workers who produce the standard output or more, and the
other for those who produce less than the standard output.
