Predetermined Time Systems● Frank and Lillian Gilbreth broke work into therbligs
(elements).● The next step is to assign time values to the
elements.● Times for elements are added to obtain a total time.● Independence and additivity are assumed.● PTS are based on the concept that there are basic,
universal units of work with standard amounts of time.
IE 366
Methods-Time Measurements
● Developed in 1946● Simplified versions are available.● A training course is required for using the
system correctly.
IE 366
MTM-1
● 10 categories of movements● Times in TMUs (Time Measurement Units)
1 TMU = 0.000 010 h= 0.000 600 min= 0.036 s
● Times are for an experienced worker working at a normal pace.
● No allowances are included in the times.● Takes ~ 2,000 cycles to make MTM standard time.

Reach
5 cases:A. Reach to an object in a fixed location or in the other hand.B. Reach to a single object whose general location is known.C. Reach to an object jumbled with others in a group (requires search &
select).D. Reach to a very small object or where accurate grasp is required
(visual control).E. Reach to an indefinite location (minimum mental control).
Parameterized by distance (inches) knuckle-to-knuckle
Must consider shoulder, body movement (body assist)acceleration, deceleration
IE 366
Move
Hand usually holding something.3 cases:
A. Move object to the other hand or against stop (little control).B. Move object to an approximate or indefinite location (some control).C. Move object to an exact location (control).
Parameterized bydistanceobject weight
Variation: Crankparameterized by diameter
IE 366
Turn
● A movement that rotates the hand, wrist, and forearm about the long axis of the forearm.
● Time depends on degrees of turn, weight of the object, and resistance against turn.
IE 366
Apply Pressure
● Application of force without resultant movement.
IE 366
Grasp
● Pickup grasp● Regrasp● Transfer grasp● Jumbled grasp● Contact, sliding, or hook grasp
IE 366
Position
● Aligning, orienting, or engaging one object with another
● Position times vary with:– Amount of pressure needed to fit– Symmetry of the object– Ease of handling
IE 366
Disengage
● Breaking contact between one object and another
● Times vary with:– Class of fit– Ease of handling– Care in handling
IE 366
Release
● Relinquishing control of an object by the hand or fingers
● Two types:– Simple opening of the fingers– Contact release
IE 366
Other Motions
● Body, leg, and foot motions● Eye motions● Combined motions
– e.g., Regrasp during Move– time is greater of two times
● Limited motions– accuracy required for one motion limits accuracy of
simultaneous motion– requires continuation of limited motion after limiting motion
is completed

MTM Form

MTM-2
● Takes about 40% of the time of MTM-1 to analyze a task.
● Has only 37 times in all.● Key categories are GET and PUT.● Provides decision trees to determine case.● User estimates distance and uses time from
table. ● Includes 7 other motions.

MTM-3
● Takes about 15% of the time of MTM-1 to analyze a task.
● Has only 10 times.● Key categories are HANDLE and TRANSPORT.● Provides decision trees to determine case.● User estimates distance (< 6 in. or > 6 in.) and
uses time from table. ● Includes 2 other motions.
IE 366
MTM-3 Analysis
IE 366
MOST Work Measurement System● Based on observation that the majority of
activities are associated with a limited number of motion sequences.
● Significantly reduces time required to perform an analysis.
● 4 sequence models.
IE 366
General Move Sequence Model
IE 366
MODAPTS
● Based on the concept that the body member used is the key variable.
● All body movements are multiples of a MOD (1 MOD = .129 s).
IE 366
Comments about PTS
● In theory, PTS can accurately predict task times.● Evidence shows reality and theory don’t agree.● One problem is that analyst judgment is required.● Most managements are not concerned with a great
deal of accuracy.● Managements are concerned with cost of analysis.
