MTM (Methods-Time Measurement)
Methods-Time Measurement
Predetermined motion-time system assigning standard times to fundamental human motions.
Examples
- 01Using MTM, the engineer breaks a screwing task into reach, grasp, move, position and release, each with a standard time.
- 02During the trial run, MTM times are compared with real cycle times to find steps that take longer than planned.
- 03MTM analysis shows that a magnetic screw holder saves 0.8 seconds per screw, or 40 minutes per shift.
