MOTION ECONOMY
v

Helps achieve productivity and reduce Cumulative Trauma at the workstation or sub-micro level.

PRINCIPLES OF MOTION ECONOMY

v

It is a set of rules and suggestion to improve the manual work in a manufacturing and reduce fatigue.

Classification of Principles of Motion Economy

1.

2.

3.

Principles related to the use of human body Principles related to the arrangement of the work place Principles related to the design of tools and equipment

USE OF HUMAN BODY

The two hands should begin motions at the same time. The two hands should not be idle at the same time except during rest periods. Motions of the arms should be made in opposite and symmetrical directions and should be made simultaneously.

4/24/12

ARRANGEMENT OF THE WORKPLACE

o

There should be a definite and fixed place for all tools and materials. Tools, materials, and controls should be located close in and directly in front of the operator. Drop delivers should be used whenever possible. Materials and tools should be located to permit the best sequence of motions. Arrange the height of the workplace and chair for alternate sitting and standing, when possible. Provide a chair of the type and height to permit good posture.

DESIGN OF TOOLS and EQUIPMENT

o o o

Combine tools whenever possible. Preposition tools and materials. Where each finger performs some specific movement, the load should be distributed in accordance with the inherent capacities of thee fingers. For light assembly, a screwdriver handle should be smaller at the bottom. Momentum should be used to help the in worker in doing their task not to increase their task.

FLOOR AREA

Floor area requirements for each machine, including machine travel, can be determined total width (static width plus maximum travel to the left and right) by total depth (static depth plus maximum travel toward and away from the operator)

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Receiving and storing inbound materials In-process materials Storing outbound materials and shipping Storing and shipping waste and scrap Tools, fixture, jigs, dies, and maintenance materials

GENERAL GUIDELINES

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Workstations should be designed so the operator can pick up and discharge materials without walking or making long or awkward reaches. Workstations should be designed for efficient and effective utilization of the operator Workstation should be designed to minimize the time spent manually handling materials Workstations should be designed to maximize operator safety comfort and productivity Workstations should be designed to minimize hazards, fatigue, and eye strain.
