- Standardized work development for consistency
- Labor cost reduction through optimized workflows
- Resource allocation planning for improved productivity
- Process benchmarking to track and enhance performance
- Better decision-making with accurate performance data
Work Measurement Techniques
Work Sampling
This statistical technique is used to analyze non-repetitive tasks with long cycle times by measuring the proportion of time subjects, such as workers or machines, spend on specific activities. It calculates total task time, machine and manpower utilization, and allowances.
MODAPTS
Work Sampling is used for non-repetitive, long-cycle tasks, while PMTS methods like MODAPTS, MOST, and MTM are suited for repetitive, short-cycle tasks in direct labor roles. Specifically, MODAPTS uses a MOD (1 MOD = 0.129 seconds) as its unit of measurement and applies a coding system to calculate task times efficiently.
Predetermined Motion Time Systems (PMTS)
Set production time standards by analyzing processes step by step and assigning precise time values, unlike stopwatch studies that depend on timing and subjective effort ratings. PMC’s expertise in MODAPTS, MTM, and MOST supports labor cost control, cost estimation, process improvement, training, planning, scheduling, production line balancing, and incentive plans.
Time Studies
Time studies measure task time while accounting for variance, delays, rest, and personal needs. Stopwatch studies are the most common approach, focusing on work elements with clear end points and short durations for straightforward timing.
Process Improvement Consulting
Using data-driven analysis process improvement consulting helps businesses streamline operations, reduce inefficiencies, and improve productivity. With over 20 years of experience, PMC has worked across industries to refine workflows, minimize rework, and optimize resources, delivering practical solutions that drive measurable results.
