Uses
- Description
It enables the establishment of times for manual work, where the characteristics of small batch
or one-of-a-kind production volumes meet. Description of the method identifies in the
technique although the detail reflects the lesser degree of importance to minor method
variation, inherent in the organization of such production volumes. It is therefore a
tool that enables identification of the method as well as the times required to
perform the tasks.
Simplicity
The technique bases on the predominant hand, as with the Universal Analyzing System (UAS), rather
than the 2 handed analyses that the MTM1 and MTM 2 systems use. It produces times that
reflect a representative method for carrying out tasks, rather than the precise method
analyses of MTM1 or MTM 2.
- Application areas
- The system is designed to meet the characteristics of one of a kind or very small batch
production. Select the choice as to which system to use with considerations of the
method level required. Also consider the degree of accuracy required of the data
produced by the use of the system. It includes repetitive activities that make it
especially suited to manufacturing.
