One author lists four distinct parts to the process‚ namely‚ (1)finding the most economical way of doing the job‚ (2) standardizing the methods‚ materials‚ and equipment‚ (3) determining accurately the time re- quired by a qualified person working at a normal pace to do the task‚ and (4) assisting in training the worker in the new method. The differ- ent parts may be considered
