Frank Gilbreth was a management theorist who focused on motion study to improve efficiency in work processes. He co-developed the "therblig" system, which analyzed the smallest movements in a work process to identify ways to eliminate unnecessary motions and improve efficiency. His expertise would be valuable in helping surgeons analyze their work processes and identify ways to operate more efficiently and effectively.
