MOST (Maynard Operation Sequence Technique)
Maynard Operation Sequence Technique
Predetermined motion-time system that estimates work time from standardized activity sequences.
Examples
- 01The engineer uses MOST to set the standard time for a new carton-folding task based on standard activity sequences.
- 02The MOST analysis is validated with a short time study once operators are trained on the new method.
- 03Comparing two layouts with MOST shows that the U-shaped bench needs 12 % less time per carton.
