A number should have a method behind it.

SMVs influence planning, costing and day-to-day factory decisions. This forthcoming guide is designed to help apparel teams ask a useful question: can we show how this standard was established?

It introduces a motion-based way of documenting an operation and its standard time—without assuming that every existing standard is wrong.
