Question
(Please Note: this is a totally fictitious scenario) This question is for everyone to do. Maria works as a lock assembler at Master Lock in Nogales, MX. Her workstation design follows this text. She is inserting the pins into a padlock similar to that shown in the padlock schematic. Specifically, Maria inserts the pins, labeled #31 in the patent diagram shown next, into the lock once the lock is opened. There is a unique combination of pins for each unique key. Maria follows the following process to install the pins needed to create a unique lock: Lock cases and keys arrive in unique compartments in a 4" deep tray on her right. These trays are approximately 2' Times 2' square and are stacked on the ground up to about her waist. Maria turns to her right and removes one lock case and a unique set of keys from the tray, she removes the locking mechanism from the lock case in front of her and cross-references the key lock pin combination that should be inserted. In order to get the correct lock pin combination she must look up and to the left at 45 degrees from her workstation to a VDT to key in the lock serial number. Once keyed in the pin combination is shown on the VDT. She then reaches into the appropriate bins of pins located in front of her to pick up and then insert pins approximately 2 mm diameter by 6 mm in length. Each pin is color coded and must be inserted in the proper sequence. Once the pins are in the case, she returns the locking mechanism to the lock case, tests the keys in the lock and places the finished lock and keys into a compartment in the 4" deep tray located on her left. When the finished lock tray on her left is full of locks she pushes it down the conveyor and swings the empty input tray on her right to the conveyor holding stand on her left and starts again. Maria performs this operation 9 hours / day with a 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute rest breaks in mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Address in detail this work design from an ergonomics perspective. What are the "red flag" issues you perceive? Why? Attack two (2) of the red flags and address how you could MINIMIZE the negative ergonomic implications with a recommended redesign. For each of the recommended redesigns create a business proposition of why this should be a priority project over all of the rest.Explanation / Answer
