Abstract
To improve the productivity and protect the worker's health, a practical manual assembly workstation is designed using axiomatic design theory with the ergonomics requirements. In the ergonomic workstation design, the function criteria are divided into tolerance type, evaluation type and ergonomic type. To make the information axiom fit to the workstation design, the computation method of the information content is improved. The independence axiom is used to analyze the workstation design process. Through the comparison of the information content of several design solutions, a best alternative is selected. Finally, a simulation has been performed to confirm the ergonomic effectiveness of the selected solution. © Springer-Verlag London Limited 2009.
