Abstract

Aiming at the manual handling in the mass customization production processes of an automobile manufacturing company which might cause workers fatigue and occupational injuries, the simulation based on Kcal/ERGO is presented in view of Ergonomics. By using ERGO, a Metabolic Rate Prediction Model, and the Kcal Prediction Model, the overall process and system design are presented, and various parts of this production process system design are described in detail. This design directly reflects workers' energy consumption in the procedure and process of work, which can judge whether the process fall within the scope of workers to make production environment in accordance with ergonomics design and ensure that workers can be in a safe, healthy and comfortable working conditions.
