Abstract

Ergonomics is a group of multidisciplinary studies that investigate and improve the compatibility of humans with the machine and the environment by examining the physical, environmental and psychological risk factors. The primary purpose of ergonomics is to ensure employee health and safety, and increase work efficiency (such as reduced idle capacity, increased production, increased product quality). Because employing workers in a healthy and safe condition enables an increase in work efficiency. In this study, ergonomic risk analysis was selected on the production line of an enterprise with the REBA method and suggestions for improvement were included. The working cluster consists of 30 unskilled workers on the production line. As a result of the analysis, 66.6% of the production process is at medium risk and 33.4% is at high risk. After the improvement works to be done, it is expected that ergonomic risks would reduce and an increase in production and efficiency.

THE ERGONOMIC RISK ANALYSIS WITH REBA METHOD IN PRODUCTION LINE

Abstract

Ergonomi, fiziksel, çevresel ve psikolojik risk faktörlerini inceleyerek insanların makine ve çevre ile uyumluluğunu araştıran ve geliştiren çok disiplinli çalışma grubudur. Ergonominin temel amacı, çalışanların sağlığını ve güvenliğini sağlamak ve iş verimliliğini arttırmaktır (atıl kapasitede düşüş, üretimde artış, ürün kalitesinde artış gibi). Çünkü; çalışanları sağlıklı ve güvenli bir şekilde çalıştırmak iş verimliliğinde artış sağlar. Bu çalışmada, bir işletmenin seçilen üretim hattında REBA yöntemi ile ergonomik risk analizi yapılmıştır ve iyileştirme önerileri sunulmuştur. Çalışma kümesini üretim hattında çalışan 30 düz işçi oluşturmaktadır. Yapılan REBA analizi sonucunda, üretim sürecinin %66,6'sı orta riskte ve %33,4'ü yüksek risk altında olduğu gözlenmiştir. Yapılacak iyileştirme çalışmaları sonucunda ergonomik risklerin azalacağı, üretim ve verimlilikte artış olması beklenmektedir.
