| Abstract: | Presents a computerized approach to workplace design using computer aided design of workplace assembly layout (CADWORK) to design a workplace for the assembly of a product comprising 11 components. The software accepts product data (assembly sequence), workplace data (working area) and anthropometric data (relating to the operator) and heuristically designs a detailed workplace layout. The software also calculates the standard time to complete the assembly. The resulting layout can then be modified interactively to improve on the basic design. In this case such subsequent improvement was marginal. |
