Improvement of the assembly workstation with the use of visual management methods

The performance of human operators and manually operated processes can be improved with the use of visual management methods. An example of improvement of assembly station is presented. Detailed analysis of the work process has identified some places, in which time losses and reduced efficiency occur. Therefore, a new project of the workstation has been developed. According to lean manufacturing principles, the visual management methods, including 5S, have been used. The detailed design of human workspace was prepared with the CAD software NX 10. The use of digital human models allows 3D visualization and can be used to improve the ergonomics of human workspace. Although, the improved assembly workstation will have much greater productivity, also training for employment is required.
