“…Logo, ele influencia diretamente no conteúdo de trabalho e em sua qualidade, uma vez que abre grandes oportunidades para participação, controle do trabalhado e aprendizado (Getty, 1999). Eklund (2000), por exemplo, demonstra em suas pesquisas uma relação clara entre a demanda de trabalho (demanda física e psicológica) e qualidade e produtividade do desempenho.…”

A adoção do modelo Lean significa a implementação sistemática de diversas práticas administrativas, onde o elemento humano apresenta-se como um fator chave nos contínuos esforços de aprimoramento, influenciando diretamente no conteúdo de trabalho e em sua qualidade. Entretanto, há poucas evidências sobre pesquisas que consistem na avaliação quantitativa da demanda de trabalho, física ou psicológica, em um ambiente de produção enxuta. O presente projeto pretende proporcionar melhores condições de trabalho em ambientes industriais, através do desenvolvimento de um Modelo de identificação de lacunas sistêmicas entre demanda de trabalho e o perfil dos trabalhadores, para consolidação de critérios de avaliação Lean Ergonômicos, como indicadores de oportunidades de melhorias nos ambientes de produção enxuta. O intuito é diminuir os índices de afastamentos, acidentes, doenças ocupacionais, queda de produtividade, na indústria. Para tanto, o grupo de pesquisa G-METTA, que integra profissionais de áreas afins para o desenvolvimento deste projeto, busca a aplicação do Modelo proposto, a fim de satisfazer as exigências humanas e funcionais das atividades laborais, determinantes do eficiente desempenho dos sistemas produtivos, neste caso, de ambientes industriais de produção enxuta.Palavras chave: Ergonomia; Produção Enxuta (Lean); Ambiente Industrial.

“…Employee participation throughout the whole problem solving process, including planning, testing, evaluation, and implementation of their own work activities has a potential to promote learning, motivation, and company performance (Eklund, 2000). Thus, frequent feedback meetings and discussions were carried out to support setup designs of prototypes representing different multimedia techniques for visualizing the ergonomic guidelines (interactive/hyperlinked icons, photos, drawings, film clips and animations).…”

“…A participatory approach is recommended to successfully integrate users' needs when designing future workplaces and quality systems (Karltun et al, 1998;Eklund, 2000). Wilson and Haines (1997) define participation in the context of ergonomics management programs at work as, ''The involvement of people in planning and controlling a significant amount of their own work activities, with sufficient knowledge and power to influence both processes and outcomes in order to achieve desirable goals.''…”

Guidelines are used in information and quality management systems to ensure high quality by supporting design, production and communication processes. These guidelines can be presented as a conventional system on an intranet suitable for printouts, visualized as a traditional text-based report with a list of headings accompanied by tables and pictures or presented as paper documents in manuals or binders. Such approaches do not always correspond to some companys' requirements for usability. However, multimedia techniques can be used to visualize and let users interact with the information through hyperlinked text, pictures, and animations. The aim of this study was to design a computer aided system of ergonomic guidelines visualized by means of interactive multimedia technology based on cognitive theories and practical examples. Furthermore, the efficiency in and attitudes towards using the interactive multimedia system were evaluated and compared with a conventional system which visualized ergonomic guidelines in the form of a traditional report on scrollable web pages. The interactive multimedia system was the result of a participatory design process with experts and potential users in collaboration with Saab Automobile. The system was, in general, faster to use with lower dispersion in performance speed and number of incorrect answers compared to the conventional system. No statistically significant differences were found between males and females or between the five groups of potential users. In addition, the interactive multimedia system was experienced as more enjoyable to use, which is likely to promote interest and learning about ergonomic issues. Relevance to industryThe results from this study can be used to design and improve visualization of ergonomic guidelines on an intranet, increase efficiency, and engender a positive attitude towards using ergonomic information. r

“…Depending on how new working methods are implemented, organizational changes aimed at reducing variation and waste, such as lean production, may affect employee experience of the work environment and conditions for learning (Adler & Borys 1996). Changes and formalization of the work process can be coercive, characterized by forced compliance, introduction of rules, and focus on technical and financial methods; or they can be enabling, encouraging employee involvement in problem solving, and stressing learning and innovation (Adler & Borys 1996;Eklund, 2000).…”

Lean production tools and decision latitude enable conditions for innovative learning in organizations: A multilevel analysis

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The effect of lean production on conditions for learning is debated. This study aimed to investigate how tools inspired by lean production (standardization, resource reduction, visual monitoring, housekeeping, value flow analysis) were associated with an innovative learning climate and with collective dispersion of ideas in organizations, and whether decision latitude contributed to these associations. A questionnaire was sent out to employees in public, private, production and service organizations (n = 4442). Multilevel linear regression analyses were used. Use of lean tools and decision latitude were positively associated with an innovative learning climate and collective dispersion of ideas. A low degree of decision latitude was a modifier in the association to collective dispersion of ideas. Lean tools enable shared understanding and collective spreading of ideas, needed for the development of work processes, especially when decision latitude is low. Value flow analysis played a pivotal role in the associations.
