Abstract:

A type II line balancing problem with multiple workers in workstations (mALBP-II) is considered given a total number of workers, group workers, and tasks into workstations so as to minimize cycle time. Different from the manufacturing environment where the traditional assembly line balancing problem (ALBP) rises, manual or semimanual manufacturing enjoys much higher flexibility allowing multiple workers to perform the same set of tasks on workpieces in the same workstation in parallel. The freedom of specifying the number of workers in workstations makes the classic NP-hard ALBP even harder to

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Computer workstation use is a risk factor for the development of musculoskeletal disorders. Governmental guidelines have been developed as a resource for workstation set-up to minimize this risk. The degree of worksite compliance with guidelines has not been examined. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine workstations using the VDT Workstation Checklist to determine compliance, and potential modifications. METHODS: Subjects were recruited from a variety of work settings in Erie, PA. Workstations were assessed with the worker present, using the VDT Workstation Checklis

Abstract:

Several companies indirectly give excessive workloads that are considered to increase productivity. Besides workload, the work environment is important in encouraging employees to work optimally. Ruang Klambi Convection does not have a good work system due to the absence of an effective work schedule and poor work environment conditions. This can allow for overload or excessive workload on each worker. The primary motivation for this study is to improve work efficiency at Ruang Klambi Convection, which faces problems of excessive workload and a non-optimal work environment. Through the Work Sa

Abstract:

The new trend in office ergonomics is installing dynamic workstations that include sit-to-stand tables, treadmills, stationary bicycles, and exercise balls. The question is whether it is worth the investment to try to reduce musculoskeletal pain via these dynamic workstations. Postural change is good, but the most effective workstation seems to be the sit-to-stand table with respect to reducing discomfort suffered by office workers. Treadmills and cycle workstations do have the ability to increase energy expenditure and heart rate and thus are potentially beneficial in addressing obesity that

Abstract:

This study aims to determine and analyze body parts that experience musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and muscles that experience fatigue in guitar-making workers. The method used is the Nordic Body Map (NBM) to determine MSDs complaints, including complaints of pain in 28 parts of the worker's body, and the Muscle Fatigue Analysis (MFA) method to determine muscle fatigue that occurs in each part of the body by determining the level of effort, duration of work, and frequency of work movements. The results of research using NBM were 2 workers with high risk, 3 workers with medium risk, and 7 wor

Abstract:

This study investigates the impact of an active workstation on heating and cooling energy consumption in commercial buildings. The improved performance and health of office workers are well-known and supported by several surveys and studies. However, the preferred and revised indoor air temperature for different activities of the employees, such as standing and walking, directly impacts the energy consumption of the building. Therefore, this study systematically quantifies the impact of indoor environments on building energy consumption using a simulation tool. Based on literature reviews with

Airborne dust in cotton ginneries is a nuisance as well as a potential respiratory hazard. The workers in ginneries are subjected to vagaries of airborne dust pollution. Exposure to dust causes cough, cold, fever, breathing difficulties and may even lead to lung disorders if exposed for long term. Dust concentration in mg! m3 of PM 2.5 11m and PM 10 11m was measured at different workstations. Time weighed average (TWA) of airborne dust of PM 2.5 and PM10 was found up to 2.30 and 3.75 mg/m3 respectively in conventional ginneries. In automatic ginneries, workers are exposed to TWA of airborne du

Abstract:

Office workers spend a large part of their workday sitting down. Too much sitting seems bad for people’s health and puts them at risk for premature death. Workstation alternatives that allow desk work to be done while standing, walking, biking, or stepping reduce the total time spent sitting without affecting work performance much. Moreover, these alternatives seem acceptable to users. Future research is needed to determine long-term effects and whether results apply to different working populations.

Abstract:

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) are one of the main occupational health problems. The best strategy to prevent them lies on ergonomic interventions. The variety of industrial processes and environments, however, makes it difficult to define an all-purpose framework to guide these ergonomic interventions. This undefinition is exacerbated by recurrent introduction of new technologies, e.g., collaborative robots. In this paper, we propose a framework to guide ergonomics and human factors practitioners through all stages of assessment and redesign of workstations. This framework was

This paper describes a study of the after-reach hazard using a power press simulator. The after-reach hazard occurs when a worker reaches into the point of operation on a power press after initiating the downstroke of the press ram. The hand reaching capabilities of industrial power press operators were measured to quantify hand reach speed and to determine variables which may affect after-reach movement times. The results of this study identified three variables which may be important in characterizing a worker's ability to make rapid hand reach movements: age, gender, and the location of the
