“…In the study where relationships between a number of ergonomic conditions and product quality in car assembly plant were examined, the results showed that quality deficiencies were three times as common for the work tasks with ergonomics problems, compared with other tasks and an increased risk of quality deficiencies was established for all three categories of ergonomic problems investigated [3]. Direct causes of quality deficiencies were identified, such as discomfort from strained parts of the body, organizational factors and time pressure.…”
