Abstract
In recent years, a number of computerized work measurement systems have been developed. In particular, attempts have been made to computerize the manual versions of existing predetermined motion-time systems (PMTS). This can be attributed to the spread of computer technology in the last decade which may further the application of PMTS in manufacturing industries in terms of speed, ease of use, and minimization of degree of judgement on the part of the analyst in establishing time standards. The main objective of this paper is to survey the various computerized PMTS. In particular, this study will examine the computerized systems of Methods-Time Measurement (MTM), Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Time Standards (MODAPTS), and Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST) due to their popular and worldwide support. The background and computer application of the aforementioned systems are discussed. Furthermore, comparative examples are given to illustrate the advantages and limitations of each system.
