Element system

The MTM process elements are divided into element systems (formerly: analysis method). This simplifies the analysis process by allowing the short code of a module (e.g. AA1) to be entered into an analysis structure after the required module system (e.g. UAS®, MEK®) has been selected, instead of using the full coding (e.g. 3000AA1....5 or 3000AA1....6).

Which element systems are available?

▪MTM-1®

▪MTM-2®

▪MTM-SD®

▪MTM-UAS®

▪MTM-MEK®

▪MTM-OS (MTM Office System)

▪MTM-VI (MTM Visual Inspection)

Usually, the following element systems are used:

▪MTM-SD® (Standard Data)

▪MTM-UAS® (Universal Analysis System for Series Production)

▪MTM-MEK® (MTM for Single and Small Batch Production)

▪MTM-OS (MTM Office System)

How to select an element system?

The element system is defined in the ribbon in the "View" group. The following drop-down list is used for this purpose:

Define process element system

Define process element system

Depending on the settings, it is possible to enter short codes; for example, for UAS,® "AA1" instead of "3000AA1....5." The element system set is part of the individual settings of every user. It is automatically loaded when the same user logs in again.

Note:

The TiCon Software does not prevent different element systems from being mixed. The user is responsible for the correct handling of the data according to the MTM rules.
