摘要：The industrial success greatly depends on the quality and delivery time. In order to achieve this industryshould implement new techniques which will increase the quality, productivity and decrease worker fatigue. One suchtechnique is ergonomics. This paper addresses the application of ergonomics in improving the quality of work life,reducing musculoskeletal disorders and increasing productivity. The existing workstation was studied and suggestionwas given to improve the method for productivity by reducing shoulder and wrist injury and fatigue. A good ergonomicwork station design showed a better interaction between man–machine systems. The new approach of studying theoperations by Ergonomics assessment Work sheet includes Rula assessment, Work-place assessment and CompositeScoring system, by considering these factors, problems regarding the MSDs is reduced. It is observed that the newlydesigned workstation improved working posture and resulted in reduced postural stress on operator’s bodies andconsequently reduced prevalence of MSDs symptoms.
