Abstract

As we all know the population of India reached 121 Crore (As per census report of 2011) last March. This has created a huge gap between supply and demand systems. A long queue of common people can be seen struggling for commodities and for paying electricity bills, telephone bills, municipal water supply bill, and in railway stations or bus stands. Everyday a lot of precious time is wasted in this process. In this paper, some effective tools and techniques related to work study have been used for identifying problems and giving alternative solution.
