MODAPTS (Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Time Standards)

Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Time Standards

Predetermined time system using coded body motions and modular time values.

Examples

  1. 01Using MODAPTS, the engineer estimates a new cable-assembly task at 45 seconds before the workstation is even built.
  2. 02After start-up, the MODAPTS times are compared with observed times to see if the method is being followed.
  3. 03MODAPTS shows that moving the parts bin 30 cm closer saves 3 seconds per cycle, which justifies the change.
