“…There are various MCDM approaches used for evaluation of multiple criteria (risk categories) like AHP, ANP, DEMATEL, fuzzy TOPSIS, etc. (Ahmadi et al 2017;Khandan et al 2017). However, BWM was an efficient approach due to the merits of this approach as compared to other approaches with smaller amount comparisons of rating data from the experts and higher consistency in results (Rezaei 2015(Rezaei , 2016Khan et al 2019).…”

In work-from-home (WFH) situation due to coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the handheld device (HHD) users work in awkward postures for longer hours because of unavailability of ergonomically designed workstations. This problem results in different type of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among the HHD users. An integrated multi-criteria decision-making approach was offered for identifying the risk level of MSDs among HHD users. A case example implemented the proposed approach in which, firstly, the best–worst method (BWM) technique was used to prioritize and determine the relative importance (weightage) of the risk factors. The weightages of the risk factors further used to rank the seven alternatives (HHD users) using Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) technique. The outcomes of the BWM investigation showed that the three most significant risk factors responsible for MSDs are duration of working, poor working posture and un-ergonomic design. The outcome of the VIKOR technique exhibited that computer professionals were at the highest risk among all users. The risk factor priority must be used for designing a working strategy for the WFH situation which will help to mitigate the risks of MSDs.

Color and light are the main factors in the car manufacturing industry, with not much research, conducted on this topic, related to employee physical comfort. The factor affecting employee work comfort is the color factor and lighting time in their workplace environment. Color is the light, reflected by an object, then interpreted by the eye based on the light that hits the object. The value of the color wavelength in the spectrum of 380 nm to780 nm impacts worker performance. Good lighting will affect whether or not the room’s light conditions affect the illumination’s value. A good working room condition will affect the physical comfort of employees. Employee physical comfort has developed in many previous studies. However, research on the configuration of colors and lighting in the manufacturing industry’s work environment is still underdeveloped. This research aims to measure and determine the impact of color and lighting at specific color wavelengths on the illumination value and the employee’s physical comfort. It starts with studying the color, light, human comfort, then examines the effect on the manufacturing industry employees’ performance in the wiring installation assembly industry. Color and light settings are proven essential to get better human comfort. Green color with a wavelength of 490 nm to 570 can increase the highest illuminate average lux value of 12.43 %. Yellow can increase the heart rate by 4.85 %, while green can reduce Diastole by 2.95 % and Systole by 1.29 %. Pupillary size changes L by 23.17 % and R by 21.43 %. The effect of green color and lighting time can increase the value of illumination and decrease heart rate, blood pressure, and pupil size so that it impacts the physical comfort of employees.

“…The relationship between office layout features and job satisfaction, and the position of organizational culture in mediating their relationship, is discussed [16]. An approach for prioritizing and scoring the measures of the ergonomic checkpoints using analytic network process (ANP) and Fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL) methods is presented [17]. There is an analysis of the criteria that industrial engineer count on for selecting working area after graduating, using fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) method [18].…”

The evaluation of appropriate office layout design with MCDM techniques

2020

Office layout design is pertinent in terms of ergonomics to obtain a sustainable workspace. There are five workplace evaluation parameters to be considered, namely successiveness, work within the limits of biological ability, work within the limits of sustainable work performance, work within the social limits, and work fulfilling psychological expectations and individual satisfaction of being able to exercise all abilities. In ergonomics, job satisfaction is an essential matter for an employee to perform a task productively. Since the office design mostly affects the worker's performance and health at the same time, it is a requirement to create sustainable workplace. Multi-criteria decision-making methods are not only broadly used in different fields and disciplines, but are also considered to be an essential field in ergonomics. This paper aimed to propose a method in order to analyze and compare the office layout design with the methods of analytical hierarchy process, elimination and choice translating reality, and permutation method. The criteria in this paper are established in a hierarchical order by employing these methods. All in all, office alternatives are compared, and the overall results are examined.
