Linking Ergonomics Evaluation and Assembly System Design Problem in a New Integrated Procedure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several published case studies demonstrate that ergonomics considerations might lead to change the workstations layout and task time values. Traditional procedures take into account only task time analysis and precedence relations, while human postures evaluation is often not integrated in these techniques. Up to now many industrial fields require a systematic approach to allow assembly system design including ergonomics guidelines. The aim of this paper is to investigate how ergonomics and assembly system configurations are intimately related in practice, and to develop a conceptual framework for the assembly system design, in conjunction with ergonomics optimization of the work place. An industrial case to illustrate the procedure application is presented and advanced simulation software is used, as final step, to validate the procedure and support the theoretical framework.

متن کاملA new heuristic method based on CPM in SALBP
The task of balancing of assembly lines is well-known in mass production system but this problem is NP-hard even for the simple straight line. Therefore, utilizing heuristic methods for these problems is totally unquestionable. Furthermore, in line with balancing problems, heuristic methods are the foundation of the metaheuristic methods, thus it seems to be necessary to use more efficient heur...

Assembly lines are special kinds of production systems which are of great importance in the industrial production of high quantity commodities. In many practical manufacturing systems, configuration of assembly lines is fixed and designing a new line may be incurred huge amount of costs and thereby it is not desirable for practitioners. When some changes related to market demand occur, it is wo...
