Resumo: | The aim of this study is to redesign two workstations in a PVD coating production area, consid- ering productivity and ergonomic aspects. Through the elimination of wastes such as unnecessary movements and transportations and by reducing the awkward postures as arm flexion larger than 45o, the productivity in the loading and unloading workstations increased 9% and 5%, respectively, and the ergonomic risk was im- proved from medium to acceptable. RULA was the chosen method to evaluate the ergonomic situation and anthropometric studies were performed to find the ideal ergonomic solution. This study shows the importance to consider ergonomic conditions when designing or redesigning a workstation in order to get effective productivity improvements. |
