What is MTM?
MTM is an abbreviation for Methods Time Measurement. Methods time means that the time required to execute a particular task depends on the method selected for the activity.
Simply said:
"The method determines the time!"
Today, MTM is much more. MTM is an instrument for describing, structuring, designing and planning work systems using defined process building blocks, resulting in a standard for high-capacity production systems.
It can be used everywhere performance-oriented human work has to be planned, organized and executed. MTM applications, therefore, can be found in production, logistics and maintenance as well as in administration or in the service sector.
Today, MTM is the most common method of predetermined times in the world, thus forming a uniform planning and performance standard for every type of company.
