Contribution of frank and lilian gilbreth

While the motion study work of the Gilbreths is commonly linked with Frederick Taylor's time studies and grouped within the various "laws and principles" of scientific management, in actuality there is much difference between the two. The components of what originated as the "Taylor system" and later became scientific management, changed how workers were paid, introduced a new division of labor, and expanded and strengthened the role of management. The use of stop watches to measure and set the proper times for tasks was important, but only as part of the overall system. The Gilbreths' motion studies were more focused on how a task was done, and how best to eliminate unneeded, fatiguing steps in any process

Gantt chart
A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. Gantt charts illustrate the start and finish dates of the terminal elements and summary elements of a project. Terminal elements and summary elements comprise thework breakdown structure of the project. Some Gantt charts also show thedependency (i.e., precedence network) relationships between activities. Gantt charts can be used to show current schedule status using percent-complete shadings and a vertical "TODAY" line as shown here. Although now regarded as a common charting technique, Gantt charts were considered revolutionary when they were introduce. In recognition ofHenry Gantt's contributions, the Henry Laurence Gantt Medal is awarded for distinguished achievement in management and in community service. This chart is used also in Information Technology to represent data that has been collected.
