Methods-Time Measurement (MTM)

MTM-2 is a system for establishing time standards that consists of basic motions and their combinations. It can be used when a work cycle is over 1 minute, not highly repetitive, involves manual tasks without complex or simultaneous hand motions. MTM-2 classifies actions into 11 classes and accounts for principles of simultaneous, limiting, and combined motions.

Methods-Time Measurement (MTM)

MTM-2 is a system of synthesized MTM data and is the second general level of MTM data
Consist of
Single basic MTM motions Combinations of basic MTM motions

Applications
Work cycle >1 The cycle is not highly repetitive manual not complex or simultaneous hand motions

Classifications: 11 classes of actions Special situations:


Principle of simultaneous motions Principle of limiting motions Principle of combined motions

MTM-2 System

MTM-2 System
MTM-2 classes of actions

MTM-2 simultaneous hand motion allowances

Methods-Time Measurement (MTM)


MTM-3
Save time at the expense of some accuracy: 5%,95% Not use for operations: eye focus, eye travel time 4 categories of manual motions: handle, transport, step and foot motions, bend and arise

MTM-V
Use in metal cutting operations To establish setup time for all typical machine tools

MTM-C
Use in baking and insurance industries,2-level system To establish time standards for clerical-related works

Methods-Time Measurement (MTM)


MTM-M: Use for evaluating operator work using a stereoscopic microscope Other specialized MTM systems
MTM-TE: electronic test, 3-level MTM-MEK: electronic test, 3-level, small-lot MTM-UAS: describe process, determine allowed times for batch production, 3-level system

MTM systems comparison


Criteria: accuracy, number of therbligs utilized, time to analyze a job (at 90% confidence level) MTM-2 is the best

Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST)


A simplified system: fast establish time standards MOST identifies 3 basic sequence models:
General move: free object movement through the air Controlled move: object remains contact with surface or attached to another objects during the movement Tool use: use of common hand tools

Two adaptations: Mini and Maxi MOST


Mini MOST: identical, short-cycle operations Maxi MOST: long-cycle operations
