Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) is the most established of all predetermined motion time systems (PMTS). The system was born in the USA, and since its publication in 1948, it is now a worldwide phenomenon.
The UK MTM Association was founded in 1964, and like all other National Associations, seeks to uphold the professional standards of training and research, which was the vision of H. B. Maynard – the father of MTM. It was he who coined the phrase “MTM – First Time Right”.
The UK MTM Association has been a training company for over 50 years, and in that time, we have continued to train in MTM and work measurement. Working with the One-MTM network, we are continuing to expand our MTM training courses and assist in the development of process improvement using our systems.
MTM courses are non-residential and will usually be held using Microsoft Teams. They can also be held on-site, if preferred.
MTM-1® Base and MTM-UAS® are now available as e-learning programs. Please contact us for more details.
Independent academic verification of all MTM data
MTM eliminates the need for a stopwatch
MTM certification courses are regularly organised by the UK Association
MTM can be applied to simplify product designs
MTM practitioners focus on “what is to be done”
MTM is applicable across all economic sectors from manufacturing to service
MTM motion analysis permits rapid construction of “time blocks”
Mnemonic coding blends with computer software to facilitate efficient data analysis
MTM data has been applied and verified in non-mainstream areas
MTM is a work measurement system that does not use a stopwatch or time study (time and motion) and negates the need for pace rating. When used independently, or with Lean or Six Sigma, it is a powerful system for process design, tooling design and layout design.
It is also used for process improvement, productivity improvement, labour utilisation and OEE calculations.
