Work Study: A systematic analysis of work processes to improve efficiency and productivity by eliminating waste, reducing costs, and optimizing methods. It involves methods study and work measurement.
Methods Study: A component of work study focused on analyzing and improving the way tasks are performed, often through process analysis, flow diagrams, and motion studies.
Work Measurement: The process of establishing the time required for a qualified worker to perform a task at a defined level of performance, used for setting standards and planning.
Critical Path Method (CPM): A project management technique used to identify the sequence of activities that determine the overall project duration, highlighting critical activities that cannot be delayed.
Float (Slack): The amount of time that a task can be delayed without affecting the project's overall completion date. Total float is for the entire project, free float is for individual activities.
