SIN 874-5 Support Products & Services

Humantech offers a wide variety of ergonomic support products and services, all customizable to your organization s needs. The items listed below contain the tools and methodologies Humantech has developed while helping thousands of companies optimize cycle times, reduce injuries, and overcome barriers to production, quality, and health & safety.

Risk Prioritization and Recommendations -

A statement of ergonomic risk allows you to prioritize improvement efforts. Initial recommendations to address opportunities for ergonomic improvements are delivered with the results of our risk prioritization data in report form.

Ergonomic Engineering Reviews -

The job improvement process is supported by a detailed ergonomic assessment and low cost/high impact improvements to workstation design. Recommendations are supported by ergonomic risk and productivity impact projections, as well as illustrations with critical dimensions and vendor information.

Productivity Impact Projections -

The productivity impact of ergonomic job improvements is calculated through the use of MTM motion analysis. This data supports the cost-benefit analysis for capital expenditures.

Redesign Implementation and Validation -

Humantech can support the vendor selection process and coordinate equipment installation. In addition, our engineers evaluate performance during the run-off period and follow-up to validate the system robustness.

Ergonomic Hazard Analysis -

We offer in-depth analysis of ergonomic risk and exposure levels to support cost-benefit analysis of capital purchases. Objective-based measures and risk management methodologies combine to provide the information needed to support large capital improvement projects.

Workstation Design Standards -

Design standards can be applied to families of job tasks which use similar operations and similar equipment. The design templates provide a means for transferring best-in-class manufacturing innovations throughout facilities worldwide.

Comprehensive Office Ergonomics Assessment -

This detailed ergonomic assessment addresses facilities, information technology, and health & safety considerations for workstation design. Low cost/high impact improvements to the office work environment support the job improvement process. Recommendations are supported by ergonomic risk reduction and productivity impact projections, as well as illustrations with critical dimensions and vendor information.

Clean Sheet Design Review -

Workstation and equipment designs can be improved before fabrication, thus avoiding costly rework and production delays. A report detailing the ergonomic criteria applied to the design, the resulting analysis, and a range of design solutions can be presented in a working meeting with your design staff.

Production Process Engineering -

Workstation design, integrated with equipment layout and line balancing achieves total system optimization. A systems view of the production process ensures that improvements in human performance are leveraged. The result is improved system performance in health & safety as well as production and reliability.

Design for Assembly Evaluation -

Recommendations for product design improvements are made based on Humantech's Improved Design for Ergonomics and Assembly (IDEA ) evaluation. This method quickly identifies opportunities for improvement and quantifies the highest priorities.

Design for Usability Evaluation -

Select the optimum design using our detailed evaluation of ergonomic risk exposure and user preference ratings. Objective-based measures quantify the risk exposure level of design approaches for improved design for usability.

Office Design Standards -

Humantech can develop office templates or review templates provided by your furniture vendors. An integrated evaluation of workstation layout, furniture, computer equipment, and lighting factors ensures that the office standards support the people and tasks performed, and minimize ergonomic risk.
