Since its first edition this book has helped thousands profitably use traditional time and Motion Study and the predetermined time system, MTM-1. Offering extensive information on I.E. and work measurement software, it focuses on the MTM material that has been refined and tested for more than three decades. It provides accurate answers to all questions regarding MTM-1 found in the MTM Association for Standards and Research MTM-1 Examinations and covers the minimum work measurement background essential to all who must understand and apply MTM-1.
