Work Measurement Techniques

Work Sampling

PMC|

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

PMC|
Work Sampling is ideal for analyzing non-repetitive, long-cycle tasks, while PMTS methods such as MODAPTS, MOST, and MTM are better suited for repetitive, short-cycle tasks in direct labor roles. MODAPTS, in particular, efficiently calculates task times, helping organizations improve productivity, optimize labor planning, and reduce operational costs.

Predetermined Motion Time Systems (PMTS)

Work Measurement Consulting
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 PMTS (MODAPTS, MTM, and MOST) supports labor cost control, cost estimation, process improvement, training, planning, scheduling, production line balancing, and incentive plans.

Time Studies

PMC|
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. However, PMC encourages the use of modern methods, which offer greater accuracy, consistency, and efficiency compared to traditional stopwatch time studies.
