摘要：The industrial success greatly depends on the quality and delivery time. In order to achieve thisindustry should implement new techniques which will increase the quality, productivity and decrease worker fatigue.One such technique is ergonomics. This paper addresses the application of ergonomics in improving the quality ofwork life, reducing musculoskeletal disorders and increasing productivity. The existing workstation was studied andsuggestion was given to improve the method for productivity by reducing shoulder and wrist injury and fatigue. Agood ergonomic work station design showed a better interaction between man–machine systems. The new approachof studying the operations by Ergonomics assessment Work sheet includes Rula assessment, Work-place assessmentand Composite Scoring system, by considering these factors, problems regarding the MSDs is reduced. It is observedthat the newly designed workstation improved working posture and resulted in reduced postural stress on operator’sbodies and consequently reduced prevalence of MSDs symptoms.
