Comparative Models for Minimizing Ergonomic Risk in Assembly Lines

چکیده
We present a new mathematical model for the assembly line balancing problem with the objective of maximizing the line comfort to operators. Besides minimizing discrepancies between the ergonomic risks of workstations, balancing is subject to temporal and spatial conditions for the workstations. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, we compare it with other mathematical model whose objective is minimizing the maximum ergonomic risk of a mixed-model assembly line. To compare the models, a case study linked to Nissan’s engine plant in Barcelona (NMISA, Nissan Motor Ibérica – BCN).

Postural Ergonomic Risk Assessment (Pera) in The Workers of the Automobile Parts Assembly Line: A New Observational Method for the Cube Model
Assembly lines are associated with health risk and musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in the upper limbs. The aim of this study was to analyze three risk factors of posture, duration and force by using the postural ergonomic risk assessment (PERA) method in the workers of the assembly unit of automobile parts. Material and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in th...
متن کاملMinimizing the ergonomic risk and its dispersion in a mixed model assembly line using GRASP
This work addresses a balancing problem approach whose objective is to minimizing the ergonomic risk dispersion between the set of workstations of a mixed-model assembly line and the risk level of the workstation with the greatest hazard. A GRASP procedure is proposed to achieve these two challenges simultaneously. This new procedure is compared with two Mixed Integer Linear Programs, the MILP-...
