Efficiency improvement of assembly processes by MTM method

Abstract

The increasing demand of a given product lessens it’s time to be put on the market. This makes the production system face many challenges day by day. Therefore it is important for engineers to work out and plan the assembly of the device, using the help of MTM method. This study introduces the results of MTM (Methods Time Measurement). The procedure separates the basic moves used in the work process and orders an amount of time to it. The conception behind it is that if you reduce the work process to the smallest basic movements the timeframe will not as much depend on the person doing it as it will on the method he or she is doing it with. As a result the time of production becomes clear even before the assembly starts, making it that much easier to change and develop the process.  We have improved an assembly processes by MTM method which introduced in the frame of a case study.
