Cost-effectiveness of ergonomic interventions in production
conference paper
Ergonomic measures to reduce or eliminate the risks for developing musculoskeletal disorders, usually affects the performance at work as well, e.g. productivity or quality. The costs and benefits that can be associated with ergonomic measures are highly diverse in nature. Prior to investing in any ergonomic measure, it is useful to be aware of all costs and benefits. The benefits in particular are often hard to predict. This paper describes an Internet-based software interface that might be of help for the production line manager or industrial (cost-) engineer. It guides him to an ergonomic measure that is relevant for his specific situation, and gives support in assessing all the relevant costs and benefits.
