Amongst the new breed of "scientific managers" were a couple of American engineers, Frank Bunker Gilbreth and Lillian Moller Gilbreth, who became influential efficiency experts by pioneering the Motion Study method. The Gilbreths created a research methodology based on the examination of "work movements," which included filming a worker's actions and body position while keeping track of the time. They called the units of work they measured the therbligs (an anagram of their last name), each one a mere one-thousandth of a second.

The business efficiency approach known as time and motion study (or time-motion study) combines the Time Study work of Frederick Winslow Taylor with the Motion Study work of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. Methods engineering is the term used today to describe this comprehensive approach to work system development, which is used ubiquitously in industrial businesses and services, including schools and hospitals. It also remains the basis of contemporary processes of full work automation.
