ABOUT MTM
MTM (Methods-Time Measurement)
Methods-Time Measurement
This means that the time required to perform a task depends on the method chosen.
The MTM founders Herold Bright Maynard, John Lenhard Schwab and Gustave James Stegemerten are credited with systematically illustrating this for the first time. The foundation for the development of the MTM method was laid by Frank Bunker Gilbreth (1868 to 1924), a building contractor and pioneer in the study of movement. In optimizing the work processes in his company, he was concerned not only with increasing work performance, but also with the optimal working method, a well-designed workplace and energy-saving, low-stress work. Even today, MTM as a method and as an organization stands for well-designed human work.
