 PMTS
A predetermined motion time system (PMTS) is frequently used to perform Labor Minute Costing in
order to set piece-rates, wage-rates and/or incentives in labor (labour) oriented industries by
quantifying the amount of time required to perform specific tasks under defined conditions. Today
the PMTS is mainly used in work measurement for shorter cycles in labour oriented industries such
as apparel and footwear. This topic comes under wider industrial and production engineering.

One of such a system is known as "Work Factor" and more popular Methods-time measurement,
(MTM) released in 1948 exist today in several variations and used in some commercial applications.

New legislation in developed markets following sustainability issues, Living Wage movement and the
2013 disaster in Rana Plaza, Bangladesh have brought labor costing and standards back to the focus
of activists and global fashion retailers. Occupational safety and health (OSH, OHS), Ergonomics,
Skills development and job satisfaction are some of the other factors influenced by Labor Standards
Act (Japan).

Predetermined Motion Time Standard and Predetermined Time standards (PTS), Pre-determined
Time Systems are other terms that describe same concept by different authors. Main outcome of
PMTS application is quantifying labor inputs in terms of SMV (Standard Minute Value) or SAM
(Stranded Allocated Minute).

MTM
One of the major PMTS systems is MTM (Methods-Times Measurement) which is a 'family' of
systems operating at different levels and applicable to different types of work. MTM1 - the 'highest-
level' or most detailed member of the family - was developed in the 1940s by analysing large
numbers of repetitive cycles of manual work on film.

MTM gives values for such basic hand/arm motions as: Reach, Move, Turn, Grasp, Position,
Disengage, and Release, together with a small set of full body motions. The time taken to Reach to
an object is then given by a table based on the kind of Reach (e.g. whether the object is in a fixed
location - such as a tool in a tool holder - or is a single object located on a bench, or jumbled
together with other objects, etc.) and the distance to be Reached.

MTM-1
 Operates at the basic motion element level
 Most MTM-1 basic motions involve hand and arm movements and includes
elements for eye, leg, foot, and body actions
 Many of the basic motion elements correspond to the original therbligs
developed by Frank Gilbreth
 More appropriate for tasks that are highly repetitive and cycle times are less
than 1 min
 Elements of MTM-1 table:
o Reach (R)
o Move (M)
o Turn (T)
o Apply Pressure (AP)
o Grasp (G)
o Position (P)
o Release (RL)
o Disengage (D)
o Body (leg-foot, horizontal, and vertical) motions
o Eye motion

CASE 1: Balloon filling assembly by teenager in holi
Youtube link: https://youtu.be/A7y2RAic6YY

This is a balloon filling assembly by teenager boy during holi sessions

of mass production.During this time lots of mass production is
carried out for balloons for the sake of local wars.By calculating this i
calculate TMU for 100 balloons making and by that I get an idea of
how much time it would time it would take meto mass produce say
5000 balloons so that I can instruct my skilled operator and enjoy
holi!!!!!!!!
