Tutorial on ergonomic and process modeling using QUEST and IGRIP

Abstract

This paper will discuss the benefits of sharing data between discrete event process simulation and ergonomic workplace assessment using software developed by Deneb Robotics Inc. A modeling exercise has been developed to illustrate the integration of ergonomic and discrete event process modeling. This paper will provide an overview of ergonomic and process modeling, a summary of features and functions of ergonomic and process modeling, and a demonstration of model creation, analysis, and data sharing. The advantages of integrating these simulations into a combined analysis will be demonstrated.
