Abstract

This report describes an ergonomics approaches to the workplace design in assembly for the use of people with disabilities. The goal of this project is to design ergonomics workplace in assembly electronic devices for persons with disabilities whom experienced leg amputees. Low ergonomics design leads to serious physical difficulties, awkward positions, easily to feel fatigue and decrease the productivity of workers. Survey is conducted to obtain data and more detail information about project. Then, conceptual designs and final design which is the best design that fulfill the target requirement have been choose among them. For the analysis, ergonomics analysis is carried out on the details drawing of existing and new designs. The movement and posture used by people with disabilities while performing the assembly task have been analyzed by using CATIA V5R20 software. The comparison between existing and new designs have been made to get the better results of ergonomics. As the ergonomic analysis results in assembly task position, new designs which is simple movement and medium movement designs show the same final score of 3 out of 7 while existing design shows final score of 4 out of 7. Practicing good ergonomics give a chance to people with disabilities having a suitable job at their conditions plus it can achieves increase in productivity, improved health and safety of workers.
