Abstract |
REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) and RULA (Rapid Upper Body Assessment) are techniques to quantize the fatigue experienced by the worker while manually lifting loads. These assessments were carried out by a procedural analysis of body postures involved. The fatigue involved in a particular operation was quantified and accordingly changes in work method for system improvement were suggested. These techniques helped in process refinement by identifying actions causing high fatigue. | |||||||||
