Predetermined motion times are based on actual observations of an employee for a long enough time to gather representative times for the task of interest.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Predetermined motion times are not based on actual observations of an employee but rather on standardized sets of basic motions (such as reaching, grasping, moving, and releasing) that have been previously timed and cataloged. These times are then used to build up the time for a task without direct observation of the task being performed.
