Abstract
Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) has its roots in time studies as a predetermined motion time system. It can however also be used in the field of workplace design and improvement. High amount of work effort for the creation of MTM-analyses and time-consuming trainings in MTM often lead to a decline in the use of MTM.
A potential solution for the human resources management of companies could be practice-oriented trainings with MTM as a method for workplace design. A lot of job profiles (e.g. process engineer) in manufacturing do not need a complete MTM training, as they do not require the full time-study aspect of MTM. This article represents an approach for MTM workplace design training in a learning factory.
