Abstract
Numerous studies have been undertaken to examine the efficacy of Predetermined Motion Time Systems, ranging from those questioning the underlying postulates to those contrasting the P.M.T. value with a physiological norm. An opportunity arose to compare a macroscopic M.T.M. value with a time study evaluation of 105 practising work study officers, the medium used for the comparison being six rating films. The method of computing the basic time is outlined together with the comparative results which, whilst not validating any particular system, are of interest.Keywords
