At a Pune factory, the manager studies each step of assembling a gadget, removes unnecessary hand movements, and then fixes a standard time using a stopwatch. Which Taylor technique is used for fixing the standard time?
The technique is time study. Taylor's time study measures with a stopwatch the time needed for each task to set a standard time for the job. Motion study only eliminates wasteful movements, and fatigue study decides rest intervals, so neither fixes the standard time.

Explanation
Using a stopwatch to measure how long each task takes and to set a standard time is time study. Removing unnecessary movements is motion study, which the manager did earlier. Fatigue study determines rest intervals, so it does not fix the standard time.
