WORK STUDY II

Predetermined times
SEQUENTIAL TECHNIQUE OF OPERATIONS MOST
It is an extension of the MTM, but simplified. The technique
identify 3 basic sequence models: General Movement,
Controlled movement and use of tools.

General Movement: Identifies the free movement of an object

in space

Controlled Movement: Movement of an object that remains

in contact with a surface or subject to another object during the
movement.

Use: Using common hand tools

To identify more precisely what a movement is based on,
the analyst considers 4 parameters:

A - Measures of distance - the distance of events -

usually horizontal
B - the movement of the body - the movement of the body - for it
general vertical
G - Control: achievement of control
P - Placement - the location
General Movement:
A general sequence of specific movements consists of 3
stages each with a subset of parameters:
Get (A, B, G) (Soltar, Alcanzar, Tomar)
(A, B, P) (Move, position)
BACK (A) (Regresar)
The analyst assigns indexed numbers related to time to
the relevant parameters.
For all combinations of options, a has been prepared.

 MOST GENERAL EXAMPLE

A man walks four steps towards a small suitcase, the

picks it up from the floor and without further movements places it on a table that
is within your reach.
REACH MOVE/POSITION RETURN

A6 B3 G1 ------- A1 B0 P1 ------- A0 = 12 * 10 = 120 TMU

NORMAL TIME:
120 * 0.036 = 4.32 seconds
Where:
•A: Action Distance: includes all the
spatial movements of the fingers, hands and/or
feet, whether loaded or unloaded.
•B: Body movement: all movements
verticals of the body, or the necessary actions
to overcome obstruction for the movement of the
body
•G: Gain control: Includes the movements
manuals required to obtain control
manual of one or more objects and later leave
the control.
•Place: All the movements of the stage
end of the displacement of an object with the
purpose of aligning, orienting or fitting with another

to objects and achieve control over it
AB G

Put • Actions that are necessary to move

the object from one location to another.
AB P

Return • It is simply used to indicate the

distance traveled by the operator for
A return to the workplace.
DISTANCIA DE ACCIÓN (A)

•Action Distance: All spatial movements or

actions of the fingers, hands and/or feet, whether with or
without load.
</=5 Cm (2 in)

•Dentro del Alcance Covers the area swept by the

arm extended with the shoulder as the pivot point.
BODY MOVEMENT (B)

Vertical movements of the body or the actions that are

necessary to overcome any obstruction to movement of the
same.

 OBTENER EL CONTROL (G)

Movements required to obtain completely

the control of one or more objects and then abandon that
control.

•Light Object (G1):

•G3) Unhook or collect, heavy, without seeing, release

object
 PLACE (P)
Actions that occur in the final stage of displacement
from an object with the purpose of aligning, orienting one
object with another before leaving the control.

•Throw an object or objects (P0): No placement

•Put aside (P1): The object is

put aside without movements
of adjustment or alignment.

•Loose Fit (P1): It is required

an adjustment at the moment of
place the object in a position
predetermined
•Adjustments (P3): Corrective actions that occur at the moment of
place the object.

•Light Pressure (P3): Sometimes requires application of force

muscular to secure an object.

•Put Double (P3):

CONTROLLED MOVEMENT: The second type of
movement is represented by a movement
controlled. This sequence is used to represent the
activities, such as pressing the switch button, moving
the object on the surface of another object and so on
successively.
M - Controlled mover - controlled movement
X - Processing time - Working time
I - Alignment - assign the exact position at the end
of controlled movement

 SUBACTIVITIES

Controlled Movement (M): Guided movements

manually to the actions of the objects on a
controlled trajectory.

•Button, switch, knob (M1): Move or turn the

fingers, hands, wrists or feet.
•A stage <30 cm (12 in.) (M3): Displacement
of the object. It happens with the extension of the arm plus help
of the body.

•Two stages > 30 cm (12 in.) or with one or two steps

(M6): The object moves in two directions of more than
30 cm without losing control.

•Three to four stages or three to five steps (M10):

•Controlled movement with six to nine steps
Covers the action of pushing or pulling a
object
ALIGNMENT (I)

Manual actions that follow the

controlled movement or to the
termination of the process time
in order to achieve alignment of
the objects.

•At point (I1): It is used when the...

the need for precision is moderate
and it can be satisfied with just one
corrective action.
•At two points </10 cm (4 in) apart (I3): needs
greater accuracy because it includes the time to do more
of a corrective action within the normal vision area

•To a distance >10 cm (4 in.) between each other (I6):

•With precision (I16): after a controlled movement

It must be done with great care or precision.
 USE: The third model is the sequential use of the tool. This
model represents the use of hand tools and activities
such as strengthening or relaxation, cutting, cleansing, etc.

from the use of the following tools.

•Tightening (F): refers to the mechanical fitting of one object into another,
using fingers, hands, or a handheld tool.

•Release (L): it consists of mechanically disassembling one object from another.

•Cut (C): manual actions of trimming, slicing, or cutting an object

the material.
•Prepare surfaces (S): activities that are aimed at
improve the surface finish of an object.

•Measure (M): all the necessary actions to take

measurement of the dimension of an object.

•Registrar (R): manual actions that are carried out with

pencil, pen, chalk or some other marking device.

•Thinking (T): mental activities

or the eyes that are necessary
para obtener información o
inspection of an object.
•A stage <30 cm (12 in.) (M3): Displacement
of the object. It happens with the extension of the arm plus help
of the body.

•Two stages > 30 cm (12 in.) or with one or two steps

(M6): The object moves in two directions of more than
30 cm without losing control.

•Three to four stages or three to five steps (M10):

•Wrist turns: the tools of
these things are: the hand, a screwdriver,
retaining key and “T” key.

•Wrist turns: they are typical of the key

fixed. English or Allen, where the key must turn
to place after each action.

•Action of the wrist like flipping one

crank: the tool is guided with a
circular movement of the hand, with the
doll as a pivot.

Taps: it is a hand movement with the

wrist pivot, with hammers or
tools similar to the used action
•Arm actions: hand actions that require
movements of the elbow and shoulder.

•Arm twists: the use of a retained wrench held

by the end of the handle, it results in a pulling action
key

•Turns of the arm: they are typical of the fixed wrench, English or
Allen, where the key should be replaced after
each action.

•Turn the crank with your arm: with that action, the
the tool is guided by a circular movement of the
forearm with the elbow or shoulder as a pivot.
DATA CARD TO CUT, TREAT A
SURFACE, MEASURE, RECORD AND THINK

CUT
manual actions used to separate, divide or remove
part of an object using a hand tool with a
how sharp.

Pliers: there are three methods for cutting with pliers.

It requires a handshake.
Two cuts to separate them
3. Pressure from both hands, in addition to the two cuts

• Smooth (C3): it is used for cutting malleable steel wire,

copper or other wire of small diameter.
• Medium (C6): it is used to cut steel wire or cable and
It can be known by the use of one hand and two cuts.
• Duro (C10): it is used to cut steel wire or cable
thicker and can be recognized by the use of two hands and two
cortes.

container using a felt or carbide marker.
THINK (T)
Mental processes, including perception
visual and touching an object, to perceive
sensations such as temperature and/or vibration
abnormals.

and read the exact value of a micrometer, caliper or
similar device.

T16 THE VALUE FROM A TABLE: a value

specific is located and read from a table after
to review it horizontally and vertically
