Within the era of smart factories, concerning the ergonomics related to production processes, the Digital Twin (DT) is the key to set up novel models for monitoring the performance of manual work activities, which are able to provide results in near real time and to support the decision-making process for improving the working conditions. This paper aims to propose a methodological framework that, by implementing a human DT, and supports the monitoring and the decision making regarding the ergonomics performances of manual production lines. A case study, carried out in a laboratory, is presented for demonstrating the applicability and the effectiveness of the proposed framework. The results show how it is possible to identify the operational issues of a manual workstation and how it is possible to propose and test improving solutions.

Based on the results of the research and analysis that has been carried out, it can be seen first that consumer involvement in the tea purchase decision-making process in the Modern Market of Surakarta is high (31,56 > 24). Second, according to consumers in the Surakarta City Modern Market, the difference between tea brands is not real, meaning that consumers do not see much difference between tea brands. Third, the type of tea consumer behavior in modern markets is dissonance, reducing buying behavior. Usually, consumer behavior is meaningful and goal-oriented. Products are accepted or rejected based on the extent to which both are considered relevant to their needs and lifestyle.

Investments and Investment decision making come a long way in last few decades. The practical deviation from the established norms of conventional finance made the people know that the investors??buying behavior cannot be understood only by conventional finance theories. Studies strongly support the presence of behavioral aspects in the investment decision making process and behavioral finance provides solution to many-a-problems hitherto not answered appropriately by the conventional finance theory. Moreover, it was also propounded that the behavioral biases vary across gender and occupation of the investors. This study provides evidences for the existence of biases and also provides with the evidences that behavioral biases are not affected by the combined categories of gender and occupation.
