MTM: The Key to Efficiency and Productivity in the Benelux.

When it comes to productivity and efficiency, reducing the time it takes to perform a task is often the most effective way to increase output. But how can a company determine which tasks are time-wasting and how to reduce them without compromising quality?

Fortunately, Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) provides the solution to this problem. MTM is a methodology for analyzing tasks and processes to reduce the time it takes to perform them while maintaining quality. In this blog, we will discuss some good experiences of companies in the Benelux who have applied MTM to improve their productivity and efficiency.

DAF Trucks

a Dutch company that produces trucks, wanted to reduce the time it takes to set up and change its production line. The company decided to apply MTM to determine which tasks were time-wasting and how to reduce them. With the help of MTM, DAF Trucks reduced the time it takes to set up and change the production line by 50%, significantly improving productivity and efficiency.

Unilin

a Belgian company that focuses on the production of floors and panels, wanted to reduce the time it takes to set up and change its production line. The company decided to apply MTM to determine which tasks were time-wasting and how to reduce them. With the help of MTM, Unilin reduced the time it takes to set up and change the production line by 60%, significantly improving productivity and efficiency.

VDL Nedcar

a Dutch company that produces cars, wanted to improve the productivity and efficiency of its production line. The company decided to apply MTM to determine which tasks were time-wasting and how to reduce them. With the help of MTM, VDL Nedcar increased the productivity and efficiency of its production line by 10%, allowing the company to produce more cars in the same amount of time.

These three examples demonstrate how MTM can be applied to improve the productivity and efficiency of a company. By applying MTM, companies can determine which tasks are time-wasting and how to reduce them while maintaining quality. This allows companies to produce more products in less time, increasing productivity and efficiency.

MTM is a proven methodology that has been successfully applied by many companies in the Benelux and around the world. By applying MTM, companies can improve their productivity and efficiency, reduce costs, and increase their competitiveness. If your company is struggling with productivity and efficiency, consider applying MTM to identify areas for improvement and increase your output.
