- Abstract
This research evaluated the work in a forestry tools factory in order to optimize ergonomic condition and layout of production process based on ergonomic parameters and productivity. Different methods had been used to analyze the factory environment as the Wet Bulb Globe Thermometer Index (WBGT), to analyze thermal comfort, the anemometer, to measure the wind speed, the lux meter, to assess the amount of light inside the production building, and decibel meter, to collect the workers exposure to noise. The placement of all the machines was measured along the development pathway of the production process, and studies of time, movements and productivity had been developed. According to the results, the area of forger 1 and 2 had values above the allowable WBGT limit of 25 °C. The wind speed in all activities was less than 0.75 m/s and only the region of orvado, welding and cutting area 1 presented illumination levels over the minimum allowed (NR-15). Noise levels extrapolated in all the activities but varnishing. As result, it proposes a new physical layout in order to reduce unproductive times, improve the ergonomic conditions, and facilitate production sequence as well as materials flow.
