A cumulative trauma disorder (like, for example, carpal tunnel syndrome) can develop quite quickly, sometimes after just a couple hours of working on a repetitive task.

To better assist the worker in lifting a heavy part, the task should be designed to take place as quickly as possible so the worker can exert maximum muscle force. True False 8. Muscle strength has no real relationship with its cross-sectional area. True False A brain surgeon goes to the gym to work out with weights immediately before he is scheduled operform surgery. This should be fine since the muscle fibers used for precision work are ifferent than those used for heavy lifting. True False

1. Jigs and fixtures are auxillary components intended for improving productivity by providing better holding, easy removal, proper guding of tool , thereby improving accuracy. So, the statement is true. But the cost to benefit ratio is always checked while using auxillary components.
