260:. These Basic Motions were Reach, Grasp, Move, Position, Release, etc. A motion was taken to begin on the frame in which the hand first started performing the motion and was taken to end on the frame in which the motion was completed. This allowed a time for each recorded motion to be calculated in seconds, by means of a frame count, and then “levelled” to a common performance.

Many contributions were developed in the area of MTM, more recently 2019-2020, a team from
University of Pisa collaborated with an Italian company developed an automated system called Method Time Measurement 4.0 (MTM4.0) aligning with Industry 4.0 concepts and enabling technologies such as Industrial

Plots of the levelled times for the various motions were drawn. Analysis determined the best definitions of limits of motions and their major, time-determining variables, and resulted in, more or less, the structure which the manual motions of MTM-1 have today. Later work, using Time Study, gave the

In 2020 the IMD was terminated and dissolved, and the members split into two groups. The majority of the members (Germany, United States, Italy, Benelux, Brazil, Czechia, Slovakia, China, Hungary, Mexico, South Africa, Austria, Poland and United
Kingdom) formed the One-MTM network, headquartered at

Each factor is assigned an alpha rating, e.g. “B-“, “C+”, “A”, etc. which has a numeric value which is applied later. This reduces the possibility of “clock rating” and ensures that all factors are considered in the composite rating. Appendix 1 shows the model for Causes of

National Associations. The most recent development is MTM-UAS, created by a consortium from the German, Swiss and Austrian National Associations during the mid 1970s. In 1975 the Nordic MTM Association developed and launched MTM-SAM, the third generation of MTM technique.

Other MTM based systems have since been developed. MTM-2, a second generation system, was developed under IMD auspices in 1965; MTM–3, a further simplification, was developed in 1970. The original MTM system is now commonly referred to as MTM-1. Other systems based on MTM have been developed for

Measurement is a predetermined motion time system that is used to analyze the work methods to perform any manual operation or task and, as a product of that analysis, to set the standard time in which a worker should complete that task.
