摘要: Design of workplaces that include human–machine systems and manual material handling should consider both the productivity workers risk injury. In this study, a simulation-based optimization methodology for task design was developed. A new formulation problem is presented, whose objective to maximize worker at same time not exceed ergonomic thresholds (which represent injury-risk measures). The workplace work process were simulated using digital human modeling software (Jack), best found genetic algorithm. results show improved predicted by 105%, compared used in previous studies multi-objective function. Meanwhile, injury did thresholds.
