Anthropometric And Ergonomic Analysis Applied To An Industrial Production Manual Insertion Line In The Electronics Segment

Abstract

The principle of ergonomic work analysis is to identify and prevent possible illnesses that develop slowly due to repetitive movements, unfavorable postures, uncomfortable furniture, and visual discomfort, resulting in loss of productivity, employee dissatisfaction, and increased costs. This study applied ergonomic and anthropometric analysis to the production line of a company in the electrical and electronics sector, aiming to promote improvements in workstations to enhance the quality of life, well-being, and safety of employees. The methodology included an anthropometric assessment of the company's population, analysis of body movements, implementation of ergonomic concepts, and monitoring of productivity results after improvements. The results showed that the targets for productivity, quality, and absenteeism were achieved after the implementation of ergonomic improvements.
