“…performance feedback improved performance (Shikdar and Das, 2003;Seong and Bisantz, 2008;Leivi, 2005;Czaja and Drury, 1981;Gramopadhye and Wilson, 1997). Annett (1966) provided the explanation to this finding, i.e.…”

“…Feedback has been found effective in learning situations and improving workers' motivation in performance (Wofford and Goodwin, 1990). Shikdar and Das (2003) studied the moderating effects of feedback on workers' satisfaction and productivity (performance) relationship. Gramopadhye and Wilson (1997) studied the effect of feedback training on visual inspection performance.…”

“…Among the three evaluation criteria, the former two are universal and crucial [9][10] ; the last one is put forward by the authors according to the viewpoints of Stratman et al [11] , and this criterion may be optional in some job shops and may thus be replaced by other more important criterion according to practical production circumstances. The widely accepted nine-point scale is adopted, which is the original scale suggested by Saaty [3] .The meaning of each of the values of the scale is shown in Table I.…”

This paper proposes a decision approach for worker evaluation using Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The main purpose of worker evaluation is to select, promote and develop the most highly qualified workers for decision-makers. In this paper, an illustration for worker evaluation is presented. It exemplifies the combination of the FCE and the AHP for appraising workers. The author propose that while the FCE is used to evaluate workers, the weight vector of the factors is obtained by the AHP rather than is only given by experts according to their subjective experience. Thus, the disadvantages of the subjective judgment of the experts can be reduced. Among other things, the different application situations of the AHP and FCE for worker evaluation are put forward. Therefore, it is conducive to obtain more reliable and reasonable evaluation results, provide the support for related decision-making activities.

“…La ingeniería de métodos se aplica en procesos con tareas repetitivas que afectan la producción [14]; si bien su aplicación en el sector agrícola no ha sido ampliamente difundida [11], puede ayudar a la estandarización de los métodos de recolección, a la definición de operaciones y tareas necesarias para garantizar la productividad y la calidad de la operación [15] y a la reducción de los costos de proceso [16].…”

RESUMENEn Colombia, el sector agrícola presenta dificultades en la integración de tecnologías, específicamente en la recolección manual; este es el caso de los cítricos en Caldas. Este estudio aplicó técnicas de Ingeniería de Métodos en la recolección manual de naranjas, en una finca localizada en Arauca, Caldas, con el fin de comprender la operación de recolección con miras a su estandarización. Los resultados permitieron determinar los elementos que conforman la operación; los movimientos realizados en el surco, las ramas, el árbol y los micromovimientos o therbligs; se identificaron además los movimientos eficientes e ineficientes que pueden ser empleados para el diseño de herramientas, la estandarización del proceso de recolección y la definición de normas de competencia laborales que son aspectos fundamentales para la competitividad del sector citrícola. Palabras clave: críticos, Ingeniería de métodos, recolección manual, tecnologías, therbligs. ABSTRACTIn Colombia, the agricultural sector has difficulties in integrating technologies, particularly in handpicking. This is the case of citrus products in Caldas. This research applies engineering methods in oranges handpicking on a farm located in Arauca, Caldas. The study aims at understanding collecting operation processes in order to be standardized. The results allowed to determine the elements of the operation; the movements in the groove, branches, tree and micro-movements or therbligs. Besides, efficient and inefficient movements that can be used for the design of tools, standardization of picking process and definition of labor competition rules that are fundamental to the competitiveness of citrus sector were also identified.
