Lillian Moller Gilbreth was born in Oakland, California, USA, in 1878. She was one of the first working female engineers. She was an industrial engineer and industrial psychologist who was known as the "mother of modern management" His husband, Frank Bunker Gilbreth was born in Fairfield, Maine, USA, in 1868.Frank Gilbreth was concerned with the relationship between human beings and human effort . He developed many improvements in brick-laying. This two people’s marriage made them one of the “great husband and wife teams in science and engineering”. The Gilbreths believed that there was one best way to perform an operation. However, this idea could be replaced when a better way was discovered. The Gilbreths defined motion study as dividing work into the most fundamental elements possible, studying those elements separately and in relation to one another; and from these studied elements, when timed, building methods of least waste. The couple advanced Taylor’s time-and-motion study but a different way. In this study Taylor was concerned with how time process can be reduced in a work, on the other hand, Gilbreths were trying to make the process more efficient by reducing the motions. . Gilbreth reduced all motions of the hand into some combination of 18 basic motions that named the motions "therbligs" and included search, select, grasp, transport loaded, hold, delay and others. They were not totally agreed with each other.
.Frank had an idea that society should work together to make an efficient work in any field. Unlike Taylor, Frank had basis values such as comfort, happiness, dignity, and service, which made the most effective route in an industry. While Taylor was trying to reduce the time of the processes, the Gilbreths were primarily concerned about reducing the motions involved which makes processes more efficient.
