Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail We explore with ReThink Productivity’s Simon Woodfield and Ed Thompson how MTM drives method improvement, not just time measurement, and share real case studies across logistics, retail food, and warehousing. We show how operator involvement, ergonomics, and clear coding lead to standard work, stronger business cases, and better rollouts. • Method determines the time, not the stopwatch • Ergonomic gains from reducing reach distances • Testing layouts and methods before rollout • Surprising warehouse findings beyond the scope • Operator buy-in through iterative coding and trials • Standard work supported by reusable MTM codes • Low-barrier adoption using spreadsheets or software Find out more at the UKMTM Website #theproductivityexperts Register for the 2026 Productivity Forum Download a copy of our first ReThink Productivity Retail Report Connect to Simon on LinkedIn Follow ReThink on LinkedIn
