MODAPTS Time Study Consulting

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the objective of time study?

The objective of a time study is to analyze and measure the time it takes to perform specific tasks or processes, with the aim of improving efficiency and productivity.

How do you calculate time and motion study?

Time and motion studies calculate time by carefully observing and recording each step of a process to determine the time required for each task. The total time is the sum of these individual task times.

Where do we use time study?

Time studies are used in various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, construction, and service sectors, to optimize processes, improve productivity, and allocate resources effectively.

What are the time study requirements?

Time study requirements include a detailed breakdown of tasks, accurate time measurements, observations by qualified personnel, and adequate sample sizes for statistical validity.

What is Modapts time study?

MODAPTS (Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Time Standards) is a system used for time studies, providing predetermined time values for various tasks to streamline the analysis and improve productivity.

Why is Modapts used?

MODAPTS is used to simplify time studies, enhance accuracy in task time measurements, and make it easier to analyze and improve processes in manufacturing and other industries.

How do I get Modapts certification?

To get MODAPTS certification, individuals can typically attend training and certification programs offered by organizations or institutions that specialize in MODAPTS methodology.

What is Modapts certification?

MODAPTS certification validates an individual's competence in using MODAPTS to conduct time studies and improve productivity and efficiency in various industries.
