Title
Simulation-Based Optimization Methodology for a Manual Material Handling Task Design That Maximizes Productivity While Considering Ergonomic Constraints
Abstract
Design of workplaces that include human-machine systems and manual material handling should consider both the productivity of workers and the risk of injury. In this study, a simulation-based optimization methodology for a manual material handling task design was developed. A new formulation of the optimization problem is presented, whose objective is to maximize worker productivity and at the sam...
