    Methods-Time-Measurement (MTM-3) provides a simple tool to accurately assess the performance of disabled individuals compared to able-bodied workers. This method aids in job bidding and disability evaluation, offering a more precise measure of motor skills.

    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Science
    • Ergonomics
    • Industrial Engineering

    Background:

    • Assessing the work performance of individuals with disabilities requires a simple, rapid tool for comparison with able-bodied workers.
    • Existing methods for evaluating motor skills and performance in disabled populations may lack precision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the third generation of Methods-Time-Measurement (MTM-3) as a tool for correlating performance between handicapped and able-bodied individuals.
    • To determine if MTM-3 can be utilized by nontechnical personnel for performance assessment and job bidding.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved applying Methods-Time-Measurement (MTM-3) to detailed operational motions.
    • Time values were assigned to each motion to calculate overall performance rates.

  • MTM-3 was utilized in studies at the Cerebral Palsy Center and the Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta.

    • Main Results:

    • MTM-3 proved to be a simple, quickly applied tool satisfying the stated criteria.
    • The method accurately reflects a normal rate of accomplishment, proving useful for workshop job bidding.
    • MTM-3 effectively verifies or corrects existing work standards and develops meaningful time distribution charts.
    • It provides a more accurate determination of disability degree in disabled individuals compared to AMA estimates for motor skills.

    Conclusions:

    • The third generation of Methods-Time-Measurement (MTM-3) is a suitable tool for assessing the performance of disabled individuals.
    • MTM-3 offers superior accuracy in evaluating motor skills and degree of disability compared to existing methods.
    • The tool's simplicity and detail make it valuable for both performance correlation and workshop management.
