This type of analysis is common in Industrial and Systems Engineering and it has to do with time and motion study. The idea is that by analyzing the human and work process you can find efficiencies in the system and thus improve output. This was popularized in the industrial revolution with Winslow Taylor and Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. In fact a famous movie was created about the Gilbreth's called Cheaper By the Dozen which talks about how they used their Business Management consulting with raising their large family.
