Tabel Montage Tijden Conform Gustav Ende

This concept originates from classical work measurement and predetermined motion time systems (PMTS), specifically the German system REFA and the foundational work of Gustav Ende in the early 20th century.


Example calculation – Assembling a small switch unit:

| Element | Gemeten tijd (centimin) | |----------|-------------------------| | Pakken behuizing | 1.2 | | Brengen naar montageplek (30 cm) | 2.5 | | Pakken schroef M4 | 2.1 | | Plaatsen schroef in gat | 3.5 | | Handmatig schroeven M4 | 11.0 | | Denktijd: controleren of juiste gaten | 4.5 | | Subtotaal basis | 24.8 centimin | | Toeslag 15% (verdeeltijden) | 3.7 centimin | | Eindtijd per product | 28.5 centimin = 0.285 min = 17.1 sec |

1. Clarity and Structure

The table is generally well-structured. By organizing data by frame rate or timecode, it allows for quick reference during high-pressure editing sessions. The distinction between different time variables (likely distinguishing between running time and montage/processing time) is logical. TABEL MONTAGE TIJDEN CONFORM GUSTAV ENDE

5. Moderne Kritiek en Erfenis

Hoewel Endes tabel leidde tot een productiviteitsstijging van 40% in de Duitse machinebouw van de jaren 1930, is de methode controversieel.

Table 2: Voegen & Plaatsen (Joining & Positioning)

| Code | Handeling (Operation) | Kenmerk (Characteristic) | Tijd (centimin) | |------|------------------------|--------------------------|------------------| | C10 | Plaatsen zonder passing | losse pas, voldoende speling | 3.5 | | C20 | Plaatsen met passing | lichte perspassing (0.01-0.05 mm) | 7.2 | | C30 | Plaatsen met vastklikken | audibele of voelbare klik | 5.0 | This concept originates from classical work measurement and

7. Modern alternatives

Since Gustav Ende’s tables are not standardized internationally, modern equivalents include:

These provide similar motion-level times but with better validation. Example calculation – Assembling a small switch unit:


Part 5: Limitations and Criticisms

No system is perfect. The Gustav Ende method had several shortcomings that eventually limited its use.

3. Suitable for pre-production planning

You can estimate assembly times before a line is built or before the product is physically prototyped. This was revolutionary for cost estimation.
