Day 5 9:30 AM 12:30 PM Exam [100 Marks- 3 hours] [80+ Passing]

Three M.O.S.T. sequences are needed for describing manual work and a fourth for 

measuring the movements of objects with manual cranes.

 The General Move Sequence (for the movement of object freely through air)

 The Controlled Move Sequence (for the movement of object when it remains in contact 

with the surface or is restricted in its movement)

 The Tool Use Sequence (for the usage of common hand tools)

General Move ABG ABP A

A – action distance

B – body motion

G – gain control

P – placement

Controlled Move ABG MXI A

M – move controlled

X – process time

I – alignment

Tool Use ABG ABP * ABP A

F/L – fasten/loosen

C – cut

S – surface treat

M – measure

R – record

T – think

MOST Procedure:

1. Watch job/task

2. Determine sequence(s) to use

3. Determine index values

4. Add index values to determine TMU

5. Multiply TMU by 10

6. Convert TMU to seconds, minutes, hours

 Example:

General Move:

Move 8 steps, take a bottle of water from ground, move further 4 steps, keep it on the 

table and return back.

A16 B6 G1 A6 B0 P1 A24

= 16 + 6 + 1 + 6 + 0 + 1 + 24 = 54 * 10 = 540 TMUs

= 540 * 0.036 = 19.44 Second

Based on Table Values
