Efficient flow and human centred assembly : the succes of an interactive approach
report
Assembly oriented companies experience an ever-increasing demand from the market for variation in the final products and ever shorter delivery times. There is also an increasing pressure to reduce the cost price whilst retaining or even increasing quality. In addition, companies are being made more responsible for good working conditions on the work floor by government regulations, the tight labour market and recognition of the value of good employees. Integration of optimum assembly processes and optimum effort from employees is becoming increasingly important. TNO Industrial Technology and TNO Work and Employment have combined their expertise in the areas of assembly engineering and ergonomics into an integrated approach. Nine companies have opened their doors to show what results and advantages have been achieved.
