“…Systems for selecting a sitting workplace have been reported by Abdel-Moty and Khalil (1986), Brennan, Farrell, and McGlennon (1990), and Fernandez, Marley, and Eyada (1990). The systems for choosing and placing of bins and tools (Ho & Lim, 1990;Haller, 1982) also consider the economic goals. However, most of these systems can be used only interactively due to the lack of ability to heuristic reasoning.…”

In this article, a new neuro-fuzzy hybrid approach to human workplace design and simulation is proposed. Problems related to human workplace design such as human-machine modeling, measurement and analysis, workplace layout design and planning, workplace evaluation and simulation are discussed in detail. The complex human-machine interactions in workplace design are described with human and workstation parameters within a comprehensive human-machine system model. Based on this model, procedures and algorithm s for workplace design, ergonomic evaluation, and optimization are presented in an integrated framework. W ith a combination of individual neural and fuzzy techniques, the neuro-fuzzy hybrid scheme implements fuzzy if-then rules block for workplace design and evaluation by trainable neural network architectures. For training and test purposes, simulated assembly tasks are carried out on a self-built multiadjustable laboratory workstation with a¯exible PEAK Motus motion measurement and analysis system. T he trained fuzzy neural networks are capable of predicting the operator's posture and joint angles of motion associated with a range of workstation con® gurations. T hey can also be used for design/layout and adjustment of manual assembly workstations. T he developed system provides a uni® ed, intelligent computational framework for human-machine system design and simulation. In the end, case studies for workplace design and simulation are presented to validate and illustrate the developed neuro-fuzzy design scheme and system.

“…The design process remains with the planning engineer while the scrutiny of the solution with regard to anthropometry and biomechanics can be done with the help of human models. Systems for selecting furniture [7,8,9] and choosing and placing bins and tools [10,11] should consider both economic and ergonomic goals. However, most of these systems can only be used interactively [12].…”

An ergonomics approach to the design of an industrial workstation attempts to achieve an appropriate balance between worker's capabilities and work requirements to optimize workers' productivity and the total system, as well as provide workers' physical and mental well-being, job satisfaction and safety. Over the years many theories, principles, methods and data relevant to the workstation design have been generated through research in ergonomics. Much of this knowledge is integrated in the software computer package ERGOPlan. The paper presents an optimal ergonomically and economically designed workstation of a cutter which was built with the use of two ERGO modules, ERGOMas (workstation design) and ERGOMan (simulation of workers' movements). To incorporate economic aspect of the workstation design, we parametrically described the key dimensions of the workstation. This action enabled optimal workstation design with consideration of both aspects.

Integrating Human Aspects in Production Management

Abstract:Currently, comprehensive tools are being developed which shall improve the process of factory planning. These tools are referred to as the "Digital Factory" and comprise diverse features, from capacity planning of production resources to visualisation and simulation of a virtual workshop. In a micro-ergonomic view, human-centred functionalities and ergonomic workplace design and assessment can also be included. From a macro-ergonomic point of view, however, the integration of personnel-oriented simulation is still missing. This paper describes the main functionalities of these features and hints at first pilot software for their integration into the Digital Factory.Key words: Digital factory, Ergonomic workplace design, Personnel-oriented simulation THE DIGITAL FACTORY: A COMPREHENSIVE TOOL FOR FACTORY PLANNING 1,1 Graphic Simulation of Future Production SystemsCurrently, computer-aided tools are developed under the name "Digital Factory" and are intended to help improve and accelerate the planning of new production systems. Meant as a set of comprehensive tools for designing, visualising and even running of future production systems in a computer model, the Digital Factory promises to reliably prognosticate dimensions and performance of the future production system long before its realisation.
