With over 35 years of consulting experience in the industrial engineering field, Kjell B. Zandin was an owner and director of H. B. Maynard and Company, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (now part of Accenture) for more than 20 of those years.
A native of Gothenburg, Sweden, Mr. Zandin joined Maynard Sweden in 1964. In the late 1960s he developed an exciting new concept of work measurement, MOST Systems. Mr. Zandin relocated to the United States in 1975 to introduce MOST to U.S. industry and subsequently authored the book MOST Work Measurement Systems.
Mr. Zandin served on the Visiting Committee for the Industrial Engineering Department at the University of Pittsburgh for many years and on the Board of Directors of the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Institute of Industrial Engineers from 1995 to 2001.
Mr. Zandin held an MSc degree in mechanical engineering from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden supplemented by education in Business Administration at the Institute of Business Management in Stockholm, Sweden.
Therese was the editor of the third edition of the MOST Work Measurements Systems book and is a certified Master Instructor in the BasicMOST, MiniMOST and MaxiMOST Systems. Ms. Schmidt has delivered MOST Certification training for clients in many industries including retail, distribution and manufacturing in both the lecture and online formats in addition to developing and delivering workforce optimization training, team skills and leadership training. Ms. Schmidt has been an integral part of the training development team acting as a subject matter expert for the MOST Certification programs through the Accenture Workforce Optimization Academy and has worked with Accenture partners across the globe to continue to expand MOST worldwide.
Ms. Schmidt holds a BS degree in business administration with a focus on human resources and accounting from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and is also a certified trainer in the Skills for an Empowered Workforce Program through Development Dimensions International.
Maynard operation sequence technique (MOST)[1] is a predetermined motion time system that is used primarily in industrial settings to set the standard time in which a worker should perform a task. To calculate this, a task is broken down into individual motion elements, and each is assigned a numerical time value in units known as time measurement units, or TMUs, where 100,000 TMUs is equivalent to one hour. All the motion element times are then added together and any allowances are added, and the result is the standard time. It is more common in Asia whereas the original and more sophisticated Methods Time Measurement technique, better known as MTM, is a global standard.
Another variation of MOST is known as AdminMOST. Originally developed and released under the name ClericalMOST in the 1970s, it was recently updated to include modern administrative tasks and renamed. It is on the same level of focus as BasicMOST.
Up until 16bit programs stopped working with Windows, it was possible to use AutoMOST. AutoMOST was a knowledge based system employing decision trees. Developers created logic trees. These trees could then be used by non IE trained operators to generate Standard Times. The user answered a series of logic questions to route the logic and made inputs (number of parts fitted etc.). As they made their way through the tree, based on their route and inputs, AutoMOST would be gathering sub operation data to collate into the final time for the activity being measured. AutoMOST was able to pull in sub operation data from any of the base versions of MOST (Mini, Maxi or Basic)
COURSE SUMMARY:This certification program is broken into several short courses designed to provide you with a broad perspective of work measurement and teach you how to apply the MaxiMOST Work Measurement System to measure work for long-cycle, non-repetitive activities.
- Calculate the time that a single task or set of tasks should take to be performed.
- Apply predetermined time values to activities from memory or from a data card according to the rules of MaxiMOST.
- Observe operator activities and write accurate method descriptions considering the round trip activity for the work.
- Analyze work on the basis of moving objects using the three sequence models for manual work: Part Handling, Tool Use, and Machine Handling.
Understand the foundation of work measurement
- Understand the foundation of work measurement.
- Apply the three sequence models in various practice exercises.
- View video examples and demonstrate knowledge by analyzing different MaxiMOST based scenarios.
Learn the three Basic Sequence Models of MaxiMOST
- Part Handling for objects moved freely through the air or for the movement of an object while it remains in contact with a surface or is attached to another object during movement.
- Tool Use for the analysis of common hand tools and measuring devices.
- Machine Handling for the analysis of manual operations associated with manipulating the controls of machines.
Learn the two supplementary Sequence Models of MaxiMOST
- Powered Crane for the analysis of the movement of objects with the aid of an overhead bridge crane.
- Powered Truck for the analysis of movement of objects with the aid of a powered wheeled truck.
- The online training course includes all supporting documentation necessary to understand MaxiMOST including the MOST Work Measurement Systems book, the MaxiMOST data card and job aids.
- Phone and email support are provided for both MaxiMOST concept related questions and any technical issues.
- Reduces the time needed to measure long-cycle work while still providing an accurate analysis.
- Provides you with a tool that is method sensitive where the outcome of the analysis unveils opportunities for saving time, money and energy.
- Analyzes the long-cycle activities included in machining, maintenance, heavy assembly, or utility operations and is well accepted by employees, unions and management
- Eliminates the subjectivity involved in performance rating an activity since the MOST technique is based on a 100% pace.
- Eliminates the subjectivity involved in performance rating an activity since the MaxiMOST System is based on a 100% or average pace.
