Ergonomic Analysis of an Integrated Human Factor Assessment and Simulation in a Workplace Design

Currently, the expanded multifaceted nature of items and assembling forms presents world-class manufacturers with time to market and resource improvement challenges. Assembling Engineering Teams are expected to empower perfect new item dispatches and hold fast to cost, quality and beginning of creation targets. To address these difficulties, driving makers influence their authoritative knowledge and the accessibility of 3D models of items and assets to practically approve their assembling forms forthright. With new advancing innovation, a large number of approval investigations can be directed productively and naturally to guarantee forthright creation advancement. A definitive objective of office ergonomics is to make the working station appropriate for the laborer and all the laborers with the adaptability to get most extreme profitability and productivity. This paper proposes an appraisal of a workplace design and ergonomics analysis based on simulation. Therefore, is possible to solve ergonomic risk in the workplace design.

System Designs

As design complexity increases with 3DICs and time-to-market becomes a critical component in the automotive, wearables and IoT segments, reducing design cycle time while maintaining accuracy of analysis has become all the more important. To address this, a system level co-design approach in step with multi-physics analysis is presented. To mitigate errors due to manual exchange of data between various engineering teams spread across chip, package and board with design and analysis adding further level of exchange, a design flow incorporating simplification at the layout level is shown. The flow enables various levels of simplified models to be used, wherein data transfer between the complex 3D structures in layout to the thermal analysis tool is automated. The efficacy of the model simplification is verified through a test case showing comparable results for the simplified and full models.

Task Parameters

Modeling of human motion is common in ergonomic analysis of industrial tasks and can help improve workplace design. We propose a method for modeling the trajectories of hand movements in the frontal plane during a sequential reach task that involves threading string through a system of pulleys. We model the motions as a combination of two consecutive phases, one where the hand is reaching between pulleys and another when the hand is engaged in threading a target pulley. Hand trajectories were modeled separately for each phase by fitting basis-splines to the observed data. Predicted trajectories were computed using task parameters as the input and compared to observed trajectories from the 12 participants who completed the study.

Abstract. The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) methodology was applied to accident reports from three African countries: Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. In all, 55 of 72 finalized reports for accidents occurring between 2000 and 2014 were analyzed. In most of the accidents, one or more human factors contributed to the accident. Skill-based errors (56.4%), the physical environment (36.4%), and violations (20%) were the most common causal factors in the accidents. Decision errors comprised 18.2%, while perceptual errors and crew resource management accounted for 10.9%. The results were consistent with previous industry observations: Over 70% of aviation accidents have human factor causes. Adverse weather was seen to be a common secondary casual factor. Changes in flight training and risk management methods may alleviate the high number of accidents in Africa.
