predetermined motion-time system
- predetermined motion-time system
Gen Mgt
a work measurement technique that uses a set of established times for basic human motions to build up standard times for jobs and processes at a specific level of performance. The predetermined motiontime system is based on the idea, first conceived by Frederick Winslow Taylor and later developed by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, that the same length of time is required for basic human motions in whatever context they are performed. These standard times are established using time study techniques and can then be combined to provide a standard time for specific work tasks. The first PMTS, called motion time analysis, was developed in 1927, and others appeared in the United States during the 1930s. Interest in the use of PMTS increased during and after World War II. The most widely used system is methods-time measurement.
