Application of the MODAPTS method with innovative solutions in the warping process

The paper presents some general features of MODAPTS (Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Time Standards) method and its application in the warping process during making fabrics. The work of the worker in extra warping jobs was analyzed by movements and load and the MODAPTS method was used to analyze the efficiency of the operator's movements. This workplace was chosen for the analysis because it requires manual work, where the body moves continuously and is subjected to exceptional loads ; in most cases female workers perform these jobs. By use of the MODAPTS method every body movement and body parts were analyzed. The improvement was investigated by using a special transportation cart which can lift or lower bobbins to the height of mounting of supply packages in a creel and carrying several bobbins at the same time. According to the results obtained and innovative solutions that can be applied as an additional tool, an easier, safer and more efficient work procedure for the same scope of work was obtained.
