  1. 16. Framework of Standardized Workstations for a Mixed-model Assembly Line : Material Presentation and Work Activities from a Time Efficient and Ergonomic Perspective

    University essay from Högskolan i Jönköping/JTH, Industriell organisation och produktion

    Author : Joakim Trauntschnig; Julia Lind; [2018]
    Keywords : Mixed-model assembly line; Workstation; Standardized; Material presentation; Work activities; Ergonomics; Non-value-added work;

    Abstract : Purpose – The purpose of the study is to propose a framework for standardized workstations with focus on operators work activities and material presentation on a mixed-model assembly line. In order to fulfill the purpose, it was decomposed into three research questions: Research question 1: What problems in existing manual workstations can be identified, regarding work activities and material presentation? Research question 2: What can be considered regarding operators' work activities in creation of standardized workstations for a mixed-model assembly line? Research question 3: What can facilitate the work performance and ergonomics of operators when designing material presentation for standardized workstations for a mixed-model assembly line? Methodology – This study was carried out inductively through analysis of empirical data from a case study against existing theories from a literature study. READ MORE
