With the application of MTM techniques (especially MTM-1), it is possible to have correct methods and execution times before starting production and to create standardized data and time formulas (without the need to evaluate the activity or work rhythm of the operators).

In this course on the MTM-1 technique, especially indicated for manual processes in which it is desired to establish methods of high productivity level and very precise times, you will learn how to substantially reduce the manufacturing costs of such processes, reducing and simplifying -in the definition of the operating methods- the movements necessary to carry out the work, assigning them correct and demandable predetermined execution times (although the studies take time and their economic cost is high).

To be admitted to the MTM-1 training (MTM Basic System) the applicant has to have passed the MTM-1 Base exam.

The objective of the MTM-1 course is to:

Provide a fundamental understanding about the:

• how to proceed in and which documents to use for the creation of planning and production analyses with the process building block system MTM-1,
• the essential degrees in MTM training (“Blue Card” and “Green Card”) and their national
• and international significance, and
• other MTM methods, such as ProKon and EAWS, as well as MTM tools, for example TiCon, and their importance and application in PEP.

At the end of this MTM-1 training the participant will be able to:

• create MTM-1 analyses independently and masters the MTM-1 rules,
• use MTM-1 correctly in practice, in particular to
  • planning and designing work methods, work processes, and workplaces,
  • shape work contents (i.e. describe and assess them), and
  • improve existing work systems,
• explain the MTM Basic Motions and their fundamental significance for higher aggregated MTM process building block systems,
• select the MTM process building block system most appropriate in his professional environment, and
• assess from which further training measures he will benefit most in his profession.

The mandatory training materials consist of the MTM-1 manual, the MTM-1 data card (MTM Standard Times data card), daily repetition exercises, and various forms, all published by MTMA. Further teaching aids are the manual-related presentation, the MTM training box, the software TiCon, and films, which are provided together with the related work system descriptions, in accordance with the syllabus.

Certification

All MTM courses are taught by Official Instructors and the exams are also official, granting an official title endorsed by the One-MTM, the international MTM organization.

Having passed the MTM-1 exam the candidate receives a certificate. Should the participant have failed the exam, a digital confirmation of participation will be issued instead of the certificate.
