ERGONOMIC TECHNIQUES FOR ENHANCEMENT IN SPRAYING OPERATION AND REDUCING HUMAN INTERVENTION TO A MINIMUM BY MACHINE CONTROL OR CYBERNETICS

To safeguard the workers of industrial sprayers who involved in grimy, smeared activities and affected by MSDs (Musculoskeletal diseases) due to unsanitary condition and slovenly environment. Spray paint materials are toxic, flammable to the workers and surroundings. The aim of the research was to establish a strategic model for ergonomics implementation for spray painting workers, basing on the theoretical background of ergonomics in order to improve the management of spray painting workers. This study has focused on finding a solution to the necessity of ergonomics approach in spray painting enterprises. The theoretical model and its implementation will enable organizations to apply the knowledge of ergonomics to production operations, in relation with interaction of technologies, work organization and human resources. A significant point made in this thesis is that the matter of ambiguous responsibilities can also be connected to organizational structure. This research will then focus on how the results of the ergonomic analysis can be used to drive the justification and design of potential automated solutions to improve the ergonomics of the task for the worker.
