1. 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

2. MTM-2 System

3. MTM-2 System MTM-2 classes of actions
MTM-2 simultaneous hand motion allowances

5. Methods-Time Measurement (MTM)
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

6. 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

7. 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
Both manual and computerized versions
