Work simplification aims at completing tasks with the minimum effort, time, and energy while maintaining quality.
Detailed Explanation
Work simplification involves finding ways to do tasks more efficiently. It focuses on reducing the amount of effort, time, and energy required for each task without compromising on quality.
