MTM (Methods-Time-Measurement)systems are Work Study procedures designed to optimise work methods and to assign normal execution times to predominantly manual tasks.

The basic system is MTM-1, which is very precise but also very detailed. This system is particularly suitable for short cycle times and large production runs, as it is very time-consuming.

For small and medium series, the investment would not be worthwhile; for them, other MTM systems have been developed which are faster and less expensive, although they may still provide an adequate level of accuracy. One of these is the MTM-MEK system, which is intended for small series and individual jobs. The characteristics of the MEK system are:

• High analysis speed.
• Sufficient description of the working method.
• Adequate accuracy for the intended field of application.
• General usability.
• Small amount of data.

MTM-MEK course goals:

In this MTM-MEK course we will provide participants with an understanding of the interrelationship of the MTM-MEK system with other MTM systems and the underlying principles used to determine system data.

The goal is to enable participants to perform analysis and time allocation according to MTM-MEK.

The course will be conducted in an extremely practical way through examples for the use of the MTM-MEK system elements, with exercises and videos of specific cases.

Audience:

• Methods-Time Measurement Technicians and Managers.
• Organisational managers and technicians.
• Cost calculation managers and technicians.
• Production managers.
• Senior and middle management.
• Technical office designers.
• Participants in continuous improvement groups (KAIZEN).
