Written by In modern manufacturing processes, efficiency and precision are of paramount importance. At Tork Mechatronics, we use the MTM (Methods-Time Measurement) method to calculate cycle time when designing production lines. This approach allows us to optimize every step of the manufacturing process and maximize customer satisfaction. However, it’s noteworthy that only a few mechatronics companies in the industry utilize this method.
What is the MTM Method?
MTM is a method used to analyze and standardize work processes. This method calculates the time required to complete a specific task by assigning standard time units to each component of the task. MTM is an ideal tool for increasing labor efficiency and minimizing waste.
MTM Applications at Tork Mechatronics
At Tork Mechatronics, we apply the MTM method at every stage of our production lines. This brings several advantages:
- Accurate Process Analysis: MTM allows us to analyze each step of the process in detail. This helps us determine how long each task takes and identify ways to optimize these times.
- Efficiency Improvement: By using the MTM method, we can identify and eliminate unnecessary steps and time wastage, making our processes more efficient. This reduces production costs while improving quality.
- Standardization: MTM standardizes work processes, ensuring that every worker performs the same task within the same time frame, enhancing consistency in production.
- Continuous Improvement: MTM is part of a culture of continuous improvement. Regularly reviewing and improving processes ensures a competitive edge.
MTM’s Role in the Industry
Unfortunately, only a few mechatronics companies utilize the MTM method. This is due to the perception that implementing MTM can be time-consuming and costly. However, at Tork Mechatronics, we believe that the long-term benefits of MTM far outweigh these costs. The efficiency gains, faster production times, and lower error rates achieved through MTM significantly enhance customer satisfaction and our competitive position.
Conclusion
Tork Mechatronics is proud to lead the industry in calculating cycle time using the MTM method. This approach allows us to aim for excellence at every stage of the manufacturing process. The high-quality products and services we provide to our customers are made possible by the efficiency and precision that MTM brings.
