Abstract

Enhancing Production Efficiency through the in Work-Study Corporation of Work-Study Interventions, Using Revised NIOSH Equation, A Case Study

Third-world countries do not take into account work-study interventions in the manufacturing sector. As a result, it causes loss of labor hours due to induced musculoskeletal disorders. This study introduces alternative designing and mathematical algorithms for improving pre-modified processes and choosing an optimal economic and healthy working environment for labor. The algorithm has two main aspects, selecting efficient work design and calories consumption. An efficient design is determined based on lifting index value and calculates calories consumption while working on the method chosen. Results show that choosing an efficient working design reduces work energy consumption. The improved work design parameters bring the life ting index from 3 to 1.5. Energy consumption per shift from actual design to improved design is reduced from 2186 to 1986 kilocalories, respectively. In the end, this study calculated to require the amount of weight of specific food item to eat for daily calories consumption recovery.
