Hey Everyone,
As a follow up to our original post "MTM Does Not Predict Human Capacity", we wanted to post the archived webinar here.
There were lots of great questions at the end of the webinar, so be sure to listen the whole way through! {This webinar is 1 hour 37 minutes long. The video does not work on Linux operating systems. Please leave a comment if the video is not working for you; it would be much appreciated!}
Register for our free webinar "James v. Goodyear Tire" to find out whether it is lawful to perform a functional capacity evaluation strictly for safety concerns.
For more reading information about Methods-Time Measurement,visit the MTM Association for Standards and Research website.

The
Indergard v. Georgia-Pacific webinar surfaced this question from a listener:
"I have heard you state before that Methods-Time Measurement does not predict human capacity for work. Is there any research saying that?"
This is a question I get from time-to-time. I find it difficult to answer as it is the same as asking to see the research that the Easter Bunny does not exist. How do I prove that something doesn't exist based on research that doesn't exist? After having thought about this for a while I think the only route is to reveal the truth: not about the Easter Bunny, but about the myth of a link between human work capacity and MTM. And, if one knows much about MTM, it isn't really revealing the truth as much as providing some background to the science of Method-Time Measurement.
Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) is a process used by thousands of functional capacity evaluators, but understood by very few. This lack of understanding often results in uninformed equipment purchases and indefensible FCE reports.
To support this educational experience, Matheson will host a free webinar on Thursday April 15 at 2 p.m. EST (GMT -5). Join us for a fun look at the truth about MTM. Register here: Methods-Time Measurement and Functional Capacity
Approximately a week after that date the audio portion of the presentation will be posted on the Matheson website and on our blog. If, in the meantime, you have questions about Methods-Time Measurement please post your comments or questions in reply to this article.
