What is MTS

A

Motion and Time Study

20
Q

is the most time-consuming way of reducing costs, and its savings are small compared to eliminating or combining elements, but we can always simplify.

Time standards

25
In organizations that operate without a time standard,
60% performance is typical.
26
When time standards are set, performance improves to an average of
85%
27

85%
31
Manufacturing plants with incentive systems, average _______ performance.
120%
32
is a lot of work and creates some labor/management conflict, but bringing labour into the process of MTS, conflict can be replaced with cooperation and a feeling of being part of something important.

34
is considered to be the backbone of IE
MTS
35
MTS is considered to be the backbone of IE because the information that time studies generate affects so many other areas,including the following:

Motion study is for cost reduction; Time study is for cost control.
37
Motion study is ________; Time study is _________.
Motion study is design; Time study is measurement.
38
is a detailed analysis of the work method in an effort to improve it.
Motion study
39
Motion studies are used to:
* Develop the best work method * Develop motion consciousness on the part of all employee * Develop economical and efficient tools, fixtures, and production aids. * Assists in the selection of new machines and equipment. * Train new employees in the preferred method * Reduce effort and cost.
40
The techniques on Time Study are as follows:
* Predetermined time standard system * Stopwatch time study * Standard data formula time standards * Work sampling time standards * Expert opinion and historical data time standards
