Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Option 1 -> Motion study focuses specifically on analyzing body movements and motions of workers to eliminate wasteful movements, not on developing standard methods considering all parameters. Option 2 -> Method study involves systematic analysis of all parameters (materials, tools, workplace layout, work sequence, etc.) to develop the one best standard method of doing work. Option 3 -> Simplification of work is about eliminating unnecessary varieties and reducing product/process complexity, not about developing standard methods through comprehensive parameter analysis. Option 4 -> Functional foremanship deals with dividing supervisory functions among specialized foremen, which is unrelated to developing standard methods. Hence, Option 2: Method study -> Method study is a systematic technique that examines existing and proposed work methods by considering ALL parameters (time, materials, equipment, workplace conditions, work sequence, etc.) to develop and establish the most efficient standard method of performing work -> correct
