Improving ROI with MODAPTS: Streamlining Operations for Success

PMC has decades of experience implementing MODAPTS: Modular Arrangements of Predetermined Time Standards methodology. This standardized method analyzes work processes and is commonly used in industrial and manufacturing settings to establish precise time standards for various tasks and activities. By breaking down work into basic elements and assigning specific time values to each, we can calculate the required time for completing a task. This methodology is valuable for improving efficiency, resource allocation, and workflow management in manufacturing and production environments.

In MODAPTS, all activities are categorized into three basic classes of elements:

Movement Class
Actions involving the movement of "Finger, hand, arm, shoulder, trunk" as they navigate through space.
Terminal Class
Activities within this class are conducted at the conclusion of a movement and are usually performed in close proximity to the workpiece.
Auxiliary Class
These activities are those not performed be "Finger, hand, arm, shoulder, trunk" system and may include actions like reading a gauge or delivering verbal instructions.
PMC conducts MODAPTS studies at our clients' facilities and can provide training courses to those interested in learning the MODAPTS methodology independently.

Why perform a Time Study?

Time studies enable identification of areas of inefficiency, set performance benchmarks, allocate resources effectively, and ultimately enhance productivity. By gathering accurate time data, businesses can make informed data-driven decisions to optimize workflows, reduce costs, and maintain consistent product quality.

Benefits of MODAPTS

  • Optimize workflows to reduce labor costs.
  • Identify feasible target numbers to align with processes.
  • Minimize inefficiencies and conserve resources.
  • Enhance productivity with accurate time data.
  • Allocate resources according to demand.
  • Simple identification and allocation of simultaneous activities for improved streamlining.
  • Improve product quality through process optimization.
  • Improve safety by minimizing hazardous actions.
  • Reduced training, certification, and re-certification costs.
