Predetermined Motion Time Systems Solution
Motion-accurate standards without the tedious coding — PMTS made practical for everyday use.
A Smarter Way to Apply PMTS
PMTS Automation uses AI to instantly convert process steps into standardized time codes like MODAPTS, MTM, or MOST. This approach delivers highly accurate standard times without the extensive manual coding required traditionally.
Establish accurate standard times without weeks of manual analysis.
Enable more frequent process improvements with rapid feedback.
Standardize work measurement across facilities and teams.
Preserve and extend specialized PMTS expertise throughout your organization.
How It Works
Kaizen Copilot’s PMTS Solution converts task descriptions or video observations into precise motion elements and time values. It turns what industrial engineers used to spend days coding by hand, into an automated process that takes minutes.
AI translates the description or video into elemental motions (reach, grasp, move, etc.).
The system automatically assigns the appropriate PMTS codes (MODAPTS, MTM, or MOST).
Standard times are calculated based on predetermined values for each motion.
Key Capabilities
✦ Natural language processing that converts step descriptions into accurate PMTS codes.
✦ Automatic motion identification from video without specialized recording equipment.
✦ Method-level time breakdowns highlighting which specific motions consume the most time.
✦ Standardized documentation of methods that preserves motion-level detail for training.
PMTS Automation is delivered through Kaizen Copilot. This capability expands access to detailed time standards by removing the need for specialized expertise in motion coding. Now any engineer can generate accurate PMTS-based times that previously required rare, specialized training and extensive manual effort.
