Using MTM To Improve Methods, Not Just Set Time

We explore with ReThink Productivity’s Simon Woodfield and Ed Thompson how MTM drives method improvement, not just time measurement, and share real case studies across logistics, retail food, and warehousing. We show how operator involvement, ergonomics, and clear coding lead to standard work, stronger business cases, and better rollouts.

• Method determines the time, not the stopwatch
• Ergonomic gains from reducing reach distances
• Testing layouts and methods before rollout
• Surprising warehouse findings beyond the scope
• Operator buy-in through iterative coding and trials
• Standard work supported by reusable MTM codes
• Low-barrier adoption using spreadsheets or software
