Abstract:

Work is faced with some work positions that are not ergonomically suitable in intensive enterprises. These work positions in production have a negative impact on performance, quality, cost and efficiency. In this study, in a company that carries out the full cable packing process for cars, the cable packing carrier line has been studied. AnyBody Modeling System has been used to assess the difficulty created by inappropriate positions in the muscles. Analysis has shown that high joint reaction forces in the body, shoulders, arms and legs can cause disorders in the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, a new conveyor line design was proposed that could reduce the workload on the operators. The work positions in the proposed design have been analyzed and the new design has been found to significantly improve the operators’ work positions. Then the prototype carrier line was produced, and the work positions on this line were also studied. The production of the carrier line verified by analyses has been carried out. Recent analyses show that the work burden on the body, shoulder, arms and legs is reduced. When the achieved achievements were revealed, the conclusion was that this manufactured prototype line was an example for other lines in the operation and could be applied to similar carriers.
