Background: The principle of ergonomic work analysis is to identify and try to prevent possible illnesses that develop slowly due to repetitive movements, unfavorable postures, uncomfortable furniture and visual discomfort, resulting in loss of productivity for the company, employee dissatisfaction and increased costs. The work environment and unsuitable furniture can also lead to a reduction in productivity in companies, because if it is not adjusted to the biotypes it can lead to the occurrence of work-related illnesses. One of the great challenges of ergonomics applied to work is to design or adapt workstations and tools to the morphological diversity of the population. Accurate analysis of the various segments is carried out using anthropometric techniques, which is the study of the physical measurements of the human body. The aim of this research was to apply ergonomic work analysis to the production line of a company in the electrical and electronics sector in order to promote improvements in the workplace with a view to the quality of life, well-being and safety of employees.
Materials and Methods: The study's methodology included a population survey of the company's biotypes by means of an anthropometric assessment; an analysis of the movements of the human body with an emphasis on the upper limbs according to the conditions of their workstation; the implementation of ergonomic concepts on the production line; the adaptation of workstations to employees; and finally the monitoring, follow-up and comparison of productivity results after the implementation of ergonomic improvements. To analyze the results of this research, a sample of 375 employees was carried out, focusing on the manual insertion production line.
Results: The anthropometric analysis showed that there is a difference between the male and female biotypes. With females more concentrated around the average and males showing a greater tail of the distribution. After implementing the improvements, the ex-post analysis showed that the targets proposed by the company for productivity, quality and absenteeism were achieved, with averages of 780.2 units/hour, 281.4 pieces/million and 1.8%, respectively.
Conclusion: The ergonomic work analysis identified the need to adapt, alter and change the company's workstations, starting with the equipment and extending to the posture of the employees working on the production lines. The combination of anthropometry and ergonomic analysis was the fundamental basis for innovation in the sectors, jobs, production process and work routine.
