MTM RESEARCH
REPORTS
MTM Research reports can be
ordered through the MTM Association.
The Research Reports
are:
R.R. 101 DISENGAGE
... Preliminary study
and theory of disengage.
R.R. 102 READING
OPERATIONS ...Synopsis
of work done by eleven leading authorities.
R.R.104 MTM ANALYSIS OF
PERFORMANCE RATING SYSTEMS ...An
analysis of performance rating systems and various rating films
from an MTM standpoint.
R.R. 105 A STUDY OF
SIMULTANEOUS MOTIONS ...
Final report of the Simultaneous
Motions project undertaken by the MTM Association. Presents a
great deal of new and valuable information which should be of
interest to every MTM practitioner.
R.R. 106 SHORT REACHES
AND MOVES ...
An analysis of the characteristics of Reaches and Moves at very
short distances. It develops important conclusions concerning
the application of MTM to operations involving short distance
elements.
R.R. 107 A RESEARCH
METHODS MANUAL ...An
effective and comprehensive set of methods for carrying on
research in human motions. Major techniques, adequate sources
of motion data, film analysis, data recording, and statistical
methods of analysis are among the topics discussed.
R.R. 108 A STUDY OF ARM
MOVEMENTS INVOLVING WEIGHT
...The effect of weight on the
performance times of arm movements is presented, along with a
comprehensive discussion of the whole area of weight phenomena.
R.R. 109 A STUDY OF
POSITIONING MOVEMENTS
...I. The General
Characteristics. II. Appendix - Defines "positioning movements
and the inter-relation of component movements". The study is
limited to the laboratory analysis.
R.R. 110 A STUDY OF
POSITIONING MOVEMENTS
III ...
Application to Industrial Work Measurement. This report, the
second on position, relates the results of the position research
to the field of application. This study deals with actual
industrial operators, work measurement tools and improving
manual activity through better understanding of positioning
movements.
R.R. 111 INDUSTRIAL
RESEARCH ON THE ELEMENT APPLY PRESSURE ...Examines
the element "Apply Pressure" under factory conditions. The
report contains a descriptive analysis of the fundamental
structure of the element Apply Pressure along with numerical
data gathered in the research.
R.R. 112 LEARNING CURVE
RESEARCH ON SHORT-CYCLE OPERATION ...A
report of the first of a series of experiments which have been
performed to determine how people learn the most common MTM
motions. This is the preliminary or "laboratory" phase of the
project Learning. This phase of the Learning project
provided a series of prediction equations for the most
frequently used elements.
R.R. 113A LEARNING
CURVE RESEARCH ON MANUAL OPERATIONS ...Presents
the results of Learning. The report details a method of
combining the Learning Curves of R.R. 112 to develop a
prediction equation covering an overall learning Curve for a
manual operation.
R.R. 114 FACTORS IN
MANUAL SKILL TRAINING
...Results of four years' study at
the University of Michigan on the various factors involved in
the learning process required to attain a manual skill
especially the learning that occurs after the person barely
knows how to do the operation.
R.R. 115 PREDICTION OF
ELEMENTAL MOTION PERFORMANCE USING PERSONNEL SELECTION TESTS
... A general
methodology for predicting the level of performance an
individual should be able to attain when working on a manual
task where a pre-determined time standard is a measure of his
performance. The Methods-Time Measurement system is the system
used.
