What is MOST?
MOST (Maynard Operation Sequence Technique) is a workmeasurement technique developed by H. B.
Maynard and Company, Inc. in the Unites States. MOST has been already introduced into the wide varieties
of industries, such as aerospace, automotive,electronics, etc., in EU, US, and Asia.
Although the work measurements are the basics for the business management, companies tend to hesitate to

Background
MOST, including theBasic, Mini, and Maxi versions, makes the measurement of work a practical, efficient,
and inexpensive task for the industrial engineer.
A powerful analytical tool that helps increase productivity,improve methods, facilitate planning, establish
work loads, estimate labor costs, improve safety, and maximize resources, MOST can be applied to any type
of work for which a method can be defined anddescribed. Because of its universal applicability, MOST has
become the standard for thousands of companies in a broad range of industries. In fact, there are now
approximately 25,000 certified MOSTapplicators in the United States, Japan, and at least 30 other countries.
User-friendly and easy to learn, MOST has been accepted by countless industries as one of the most efficient
workmeasurement techniques available. In addition, a majority of the colleges and universities that teach
industrial engineering now include an appreciation of MOST in their curricula.
