We dig into how MTM turns micro motions into fair, consistent time standards with ReThink Productivity’s Simon Woodfield and Ed Thompson and when to use MTM1, MTM2, or UAS for different kinds of work. We share how video, TMUs, and peer review remove bias and help teams set reliable, safe methods.

• MTM motion categories and why they matter
• Video-based analysis for repeatability and detail
• Differences between MTM1, MTM2, and UAS
• Choosing the right system for cycle length
• How motion rules remove subjectivity
• TMUs explained and conversion to seconds
• Practical coding tips and peer review
• Coding the intended method for safety and quality
