A Valuable Tool
for Mechanical
Engineers
Method Time Measurement (MTM) is a powerful technique that helps
mechanical engineers analyze and optimize their workflow, leading to
increased productivity and efficiency in their design and manufacturing
processes.

MTM breaks down tasks into basic By identifying and eliminating
motions, such as reach, move, MTM uses a predefined set of time unnecessary or inefficient motions,

Determining the
Standard Time for a Task
1 Observe and Record
The first step is to carefully observe and record the basic motions
required to complete a task, using a stopwatch or other timing
device.
2 Analyze the Data
The recorded times for each motion are then compared to the
predetermined time standards to determine the total standard
time for the task.
3 Refine the P rocess
Based on the analysis, the process can be refined and
optimized to
reduce unnecessary motions and improve overall efficiency.

Measurement to Improve
P rocesses
Identify Opportunities
Start by identifying areas in your manufacturing process where inefficiencies or waste
may be present.
Collect Data
Carefully observe and record the basic motions required to complete each task, using
MTM techniques.
Analyze and Optimize
Use the MTM data to identify and eliminate unnecessary motions, streamlining the
process for greater efficiency.
Continuous Improvement
Regularly apply MTM to your workflows to identify new opportunities for optimization
and refinement.
