Question

Which one of the following is not a technique under Predetermined Motion Time System (PMTS)?

• A. Work factor
• B. Synthetic data
• C. Stopwatch time study
• D. MTM

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Work factor

Predetermined Motion Time System (PMTS) is a work measurement technique that uses established times for basic human emotions to determine the time for a job. Techniques under PMTS include MTM, work factor system, synthetic data, and motion time analysis. PMTS eliminates inaccuracies associated with the stopwatch time study, is superior for short cycle highly repetitive operations, and can determine a time standard without going to the place of work. However, it can only deal with manual motions of operations and not all categories of motions have been covered while collecting PMTS data.
