Maynard Operations Sequence Technique
PMTS - Predetermined Motion Time Sequence Sets standard time for workers to perform tasks
Used to set labor/line rates for work cells. TMU - Time Measurement Units = .036/second
History of Time Studies• Time Study was Invented by Frederick Taylor
• Frank Gilbreth, father of motion studies.
• Mr. Gilbreths tool was a camera.
Hand-written time study data.
TOOLS
