Workers all over Italy
working on workstations
designed with MTM
methods
Set up in 2012, the Ergo-MTM
Italia Foundation is based in Va-
rese and has about 350,000
workers involved all over Italy.
The Foundation is a monitoring
centre of operating data on key
work organization parameters
(pauses, work rates, incentives,
occupational diseases, organi-
zational models and production
systems).
It supports companies with au-
diting services on levels of
work productivity and manage-
ment of ergonomic risk on the
basis of internationally recog-
nized standards (CEN/ISO
standards and World Class Pro-
ductivity benchmarks) and
works alongside trade unions
as a technical consultant in stip-
ulating supplementary labour
agreements driven by work pro-
ductivity.
HISTORYOFTHEMTM
MTM is an acronym that stands for
Methods-Time Measurement. This
method, designed in the forties,
has always played a key role in in-
dustrial development ever since it
was introduced.
Elaborated scientifically by the
US industrial engineering sector,
the MTM system was first pub-
lished in 1948 and validated
through a special study at Cornell
University in the years between
1948 and 1952. In 1951, the “MTM
Association for Research and De-
velopment” was founded in the
United States and Canada and in
1957, the “International MTM
Directorate” (IMD) was set up in
Paris. The “general objective of
the IMD and national MTM associ-
ations to develop, spread and em-
ploy knowledge concerning man
at work so as to improve his pro-
ductivity, his job satisfaction and
his working conditions” was for-
mally adopted back in 1969 in
London. The Italian MTM Associa-
tion (AMI) was founded in 1998
and the Ergo-MTM Italia Founda-
tion was set up in 2012.
GOVERNINGBODIES
The Foundation’s Board of Directors
is chaired by the general manager
Gabriele Caragnano.
The Board of Directors is made
up of authoritative representati-
ves of universities, trade unions
and leading Italian manufactu-
ring companies.
In addition to the board of founding
members, the Experts Council was
set up with two technical and scienti-
fic work groups, one to deal specifi-
cally with productivity and the other
to investigate into ergonomics.
The Ergo-MTM Italia Foundation is an
organization that unites companies,
trade unions and universities in a re-
search, training and certification pro-
ject for work measurement and bio-
mechanical load control systems. The
Foundation is a meeting place where
relations between companies and
trade unions are absolutely neutral,
with a view to harmonizing productivi-
ty and work safety.

Methods
The Ergo-MTM Italia Foundation
helps companies to elaborate the
most effective strategy to optimize
their organization and industrial pro-
ductivity, in full respect of their
workers’ dignity and safety.
To this aim, to identify each indivi-
dual phase of the production pro-
cess and measure it accurately, the
Foundation uses MTM methods for
work analysis and EAWS (Ergono-
mic Assessment Work-Sheets) for
ergonomics.
Ergo-MTM
It is a system for ba-
lancing biomechani-
cal load and satura-
tion based on the
concept of regulatory
performance and the
ergonomic limits laid down by the
CEN/ISO standards.
The fundamental characteristics of
the system are its robustness and its
objectiveness: once the work
method has been designed, the
standard times and loads are deter-
mined automatically.

MTM (Methods-Time Measurement)
Work analysis, measu-
rement and design
are the three key prin-
ciples behind this
method.
MTM is an internatio-
nal system that analyses and divides
up any manual operation or method
into the elementary motions requi-
red to perform it, of which a pre-set
basic time is known.
EAWS (Ergonomic Assessment
Work-Sheet)
Engineering system for
ergonomic work design
and biomechanical
overload risk map-
ping. To respect the
laws in force, the companies must have
an engineering system for assessing
and mapping the biomechanical load
created by incorrect posture, repeated
arm actions and the manual handling of
loads. The EAWS has been adopted by
the International MTM Directorate as an
international standard, a part of the
MTM global technical platform.

SOFTWARE
The Ergo-MTM Italia Foundation is the
exclusive distributor for Italy of the
TiCon software, the most comprehen-
sive application for managing Engine-
ered Labour Standards (ELS) certified
by the International MTM Directorate.
TiCon is the most suitable and tech-
nologically advanced tool for all si-
zes and types of company. The TiCon
suite may be used to coordinate all
aspects of work, productivity and ergo-
nomics. Using a single software
package, you can design multi-layer
work cycles, optimize the relationship
between humans and technology,
conduct ergonomic analyses, balance
the load between lines and apply the
MTM model. The TiCon software is
scalable and may therefore be used in
a stand-alone configuration or on a
network by a large number of users
that share the same database. TiCon is
the only solution that implements the
Ergo-MTM model, works with the very
latest databases (MS SQL, Oracle)
and can be easily interfaced with PLM
and ERP systems (e.g. SAP, Siemens
Teamcenter Manufacturing). There is
also a SAP version of TiCon, which
works within the SAP database.

the standard transformation times determi-
ned in this way are available for the other Ti-
Con modules or for transfer to the ERP sy-
stems(calculationofcostsandestimates).
TiCon AP
The TiCon AP module integrates TiCon
Base by generating work plans and
processes (routing) and populating
them with MTM calculations. The sin-
gle steps of the process are complete
and transparent and their planning is
quick and accurate.
MTM Ergonomics
MTM Ergonomics assesses the ergono-
mic risk of the work tasks in advance
using the EAWS method. The biome-
chanical loads (stress) and costs can
thus be reduced as early as during the
designphasewithalimitedinvestment.
TiCon PD
TiCon PD is a process design tool, whi-
ch, in addition to TiCon Base, graphi-
cally models a process using a full-sca-
le GPO tool.

TiCon interfaces
In the past, the data were prone to errors
whencopiedfromonesystemtoanother.
Today, the planning tools and ERP sy-
stems communicate via on-line interfa-
ces and/or integrated data models.
Through its TiConXP interface, TiCon
provides the current data to the various
systems. TiConXP is implemented in the
32 or 64-bit options through .COM/.Net
technology.
TiCon FOR SAP
TiCon SAP, the SAP solution for
MTM, is used to conduct analyses
and perform calculations directly in
SAP, without interfaces, without an
additional database and therefore wi-
thout any data redundancy.
EAWS DIGITAL
EAWS (Ergonomic Assessment
Worksheet) is a method for scree-
ning the ergonomic risk. It can also
be used with the “pen and paper”
method and has been developed fur-
ther to obtain quick and reliable
analyses. EAWS Digital, developed
with the latest programming tools,
quickly collects the data necessary to
calculate the EAWS index.

THE CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY THE FOUNDATION
Licence
A form of recognition
for participants that
have gained a practical
knowledge of a set of
techniques that, taken
together, constitute
the knowhow necessary to perform a
given task (e.g. UAS Applicator). To
obtain a licence the person must have
completed a minimum period of trai-
neeship under the supervision of a tu-
tor. The applicator licence is valid for
three years and is to be renewed by ta-
king a test. It is the most important
quality assurance for all parties invol-
ved in the process of determining the
standard production and biomechani-
cal load mapping times.

pany as a personalized operation in their
departments.
THE RESEARCH CENTRE
Founded in 2014, the Research Centre
of the Ergo-MTM Italia Foundation
embarked upon its adventure as a mo-
nitoring, study and analysis centre, but
above all as a laboratory of ideas.
The Study Centre was thus the result
of the desire to improve the world of
work, spread an idea of productivity
that coincides with a higher quality of
work, greater competitiveness, rising
employment, more efficiency, a bet-
ter performance for companies and a
lot more.
Productivity is the common thread that
runs through all the research projects.
The objective is to study and analyse
the factors involved in the world of
work, Italian industry and the pro-
duction system.
WORKSHOP
The Ergo-MTM Italia Foundation desi-
gns and organizes tailor-made work-
shops for tackling a process of change
that concerns work management and
organization with competence, tran-
sparency and collaboration. A study of
the specific case lies at the base of
every workshop.
The duration varies from a minimum of
4 hours to a maximum of 3 days.
The available workshops are Er-
go-MTM trade union workshops, Pro-
ductivity management workshops and
Method Design Concept (MDC) work-
shops.
