Ergonomics in Manufacturing: Raising Productivity Through Workplace Improvement

---

No matter how much technology is incorporated into the process of manufacturing, or any other industry, the human factor will always be of utmost importance. Ensuring worker safety and comfort is one of the most critical tasks in the workplace – a task often made more challenging as the advance of technology creates ever changing environments. The discipline that enables enterprises to keep employees working safely and productively at their specific workstations is ergonomics.
Ergonomics impacts a broad range of workplace aspects, including the role of humans in complex systems, design of equipment and facilities, and product design, as well as development of environmental comfort and safety. In all its manifestations, ergonomics has a marked effect on a company bottom line. Therefore, it must be an integral part of – rather than supplemental to – facility operations. And it must be overseen by top management so that decisions can be made quickly and decisively.
In this book, 28 chapters give the reader a top to bottom perspective on ergonomics. Starting off with a general overview of the subject, “Ergonomics in Manufacturing” goes on to encompass such specific areas as designing the workplace, evaluating workload, and monitoring the ergonomics program. Included are details of actual ergonomics program at work in companies in the United States and other countries.
