Discussion
The main purpose of work simplification is to :
(i) Reduce time on a given operation
(ii) Reduce boredom
(iii) Reduce effectiveness
(iv) Reduce number of motions
Answer: C
The purposes are (i), (ii), (iv): reducing the time on an operation, reducing boredom and reducing the number of motions.
Work simplification, as developed by Lillian Gilbreth and applied to household work, means finding the easiest and quickest way of doing a task. It cuts the time and energy spent, removes unnecessary motions through better methods, tools and arrangement of work centres, and so also makes work less tiring and boring.
Its aim is to increase effectiveness, not reduce it, so every code that includes (iii) is wrong.
