MTM-HWD® – Superior Quality in Describing Human Work:
Simultaneous description of work methodsand ergonomic
factors
One analysis yields resultsfor both – method and ergonomics
Clear visualization of designand organizational potentials
Pinpoint application for typical processcycles in batch
production
Human Work Design – The Quantum Leap in Work System
PlanningBenefit from our software and trainings on MTM-HWD®
Faced with aging staff and increasing cost pressure, a high
level productivity to attain a leading competitive position can
only be achieved through ergonomically well-designed work processes
and products. For this rea-son, the German MTM Association makes
this the focus of its research and development.
Under the title Human Work Design (HWD®), a new MTM building
block system combining work and ergonomics planning for the first
time ever is being developed in cooperation with industrial
enterprises (Audi AG, Daimler AG, Miele & Cie. KG, Volkswagen
AG) and scientific partners (IAD, Institute of Industrial
Engineering at Darmstadt University of Technology and IAW,
Institute of Industrial Engineering and Ergonomics at RWTH Aachen):
MTM-HWD®. A quantum leap in work systems planning.
The ObjectiveThis development project aims to improve the
descrip-tion and design of human work processes.
Being a totally new type of building block system, MTM-HWD®
provides standardized process descrip-tions as well as a methodical
and biomechanical as-sessment of work processes. In doing so, Human
Work Design focusses on process type “series production” (as
defined in the framework of MTM building block systems) represented
by large batch production and supports the ergonomic assessment
tools applied in numerous companies. One of these tools is EAWS
(Er-gonomic Assessment Sheet), the internationally ack-nowledged
standard method for the identification of ergonomic risks in work
processes.

MTM-HWD® – Advantages of the Building Block System:
Visualization: Motion model (body – head – arms – hands) derived
from human beings Productive and safe: Basic value is oriented
towards productive and ergonomic work design From a single source:
Interlocking method and ergonomics Understanding: Promotion of
interdisciplinary cooperation Standard: Process language for
benchmarks with reference to standard performance International:
Worldwide promotion by the International MTM Directorate

The FeaturesMTM-HWD® is a motion model that has been derived
from the functions of the human body. It enables the chronological
descrip-tion of human motion sequences by using MTM process
building blocks.
This motion model covers individual body motions, head motions
and the motions of the hand-arm system, as well as postures during
and at the end of a cycle or sequence. As mat-ters stand, the
description comprises more influencing factors than are required by
bio-mechanical assessment methods and time- related evaluation.
Pictograms for Clear Understanding
o
The usage of pictograms offers fast access to and clear
understanding of the subject of process modeling. By coupling and
synchronizing ergonomics and time, the building block system
MTM-HWD® heralds the start of a new age in productivity management
systems for planning and designing human work.
