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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Overall office system performance is
achieved by integrating office design standards with facility layout factors. Humantech can identify the key links between departments
and develop facility plans and furniture selection criteria to optimize
department and facility layouts.
Applied
Industrial Ergonomics Manual -
Learn to conduct complete ergonomic
risk assessments based on Humantech's proprietary
OSHA-proven BRIEF risk assessment and EASY prioritization methodologies. The
Applied Ergonomics Manual focuses on the job improvement process emphasizing
ergonomics design guidelines, simple risk assessments, and low cost/high impact
solutions. Other topics covered include the business aspects of ergonomics, the
ergonomics "Hit List", and controlling cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) and lower back disorders. The manual is ideal for
health & safety staff, engineers, or ergonomics committees. 427 pages
Ergonomic
Design Guidelines for Engineers (EDGE ) Manual-
The EDGE Manual focuses on managing risk, reducing injuries, and improving
productivity by incorporating ergonomic guidelines into the development or
retrofit of workstations and equipment. Geared toward manufacturing and product
engineers, topics covered include workstation heights and clearances, material
handling guidelines, hand tool guidelines, controls and displays, and
environmental guidelines. 292 pages
This manual focuses on common ergonomic
challenges in the office and cost effective solutions. Simple methods are
