Episode 58

Predetermined Time Standards

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Predetermined time standards (PTS) are advanced techniques which aim at defining the time needed for the performance of various operations by derivation from preset standards of time for various motions and not by direct observation and measurement. A predetermined time standard is a work measurement technique whereby times established for basic human motions classified according to the nature of the motion and the conditions under which it is made is used to build up the time for a job at a defined level of performance. A few of my most widely used predetermined time systems include the Methods-Time-Measurement (MTM). Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST), and Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Tiem Standards (MODAPTS). been another Human Factors Minute!

Nick Roome

Nick is currently a Senior UX Researcher at Turvo in the Pacific Northwest, focused on developing innovative solutions and optimizing human performance for SaaS based supply chain logistics programs. Alongside colleague and friends, Blake Arnsdorff and Barry Kirby, Nick hosts and produces Human Factors Cast, a weekly podcast that investigates the sciences of human factors, psychology, engineering, biomechanics, industrial design, physiology and anthropometry and how it affects our interaction with technology. Nick’s other areas of interest include, but are not limited to virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, systems engineering, and artificially intelligent systems.

Nick Started Human Factors Cast in early 2016 as a side-project. He believed that the way Human Factors concepts were being communicated is broken and saw a way to fix it. After getting initial traction, Nick moved to work on the Human Factors Cast Digital Media Lab and began assembling a multi-disciplinary team to test out new concepts in Human Factors communication.
