background: standing workstation can be a strategic approach for many electronics manufacturers to achieve work optimization. however, the well-being of the workers has become a great issue for both workers and employers. the main objective of this research was to study the effects of standing working posture on the workers and their impact to workers’ health and productivity and then to re-des...

The potential gain in speeding up the execution time of computationally intensive simulation in workstation clusters is tremendous. One of the challenges for exploring this gain is adaptation of the dynamic workload conditions and the heterogeneity of the workstation clusters. Static schemes of allocating simulation workload to distributed workstations are inadequate because the assigned worklo...

 In this paper we develop queuing model results for a single “automated” workstation that receives jobs from another automated workstation. An automated workstation is a server with deterministic processing times that experiences random operating times between failures, and then subsequent random repair times. We develop analytical expressions for the queue size distribution, the average numbe...
