Lean Thinking has successfully challenged mass production practices, by providing ‘leaner’ processes and supply chains, i.e. with less waste. Industry 4.0 become an important strategic approach in the technological change of manufacturing others. It aims to connect physical virtual worlds industrial production. With such automation associated 4.0, questions arise about synergy between this role ongoing revolution. Therefore, a systematic literature review was carried out order identify...

Lean Thinking has successfully challenged mass production practices, providing greater flexibility in systems and processes, resulting "leaner" products supply chains, i.e., with less waste. More recently, the term Industry 4.0 emerged. It was first used Germany 2011 to refer 4th industrial revolution. aims connect physical virtual worlds become increasingly popular many opportunities business models that can be consolidated through new technologies. With such automation associated 4.0,...

Hand function is essential for daily activities, but neurological, muscular, and environmental limitations can impede hand mobility. Robotic exoskeletons offer promising assistance these impairments, though a standardised evaluation method their effectiveness lacking. This study addresses this gap by conducting scoping review to explore current ergonomic methods exoskeleton prototypes. The primary objective identify analyse the tests used assess technical performance user experience, aiming...

The debate concerning occupational safety and health (OSH) interventions has recently focused on the need of improving evaluation interventions, in particular for providing information about why intervention worked or not, under what circumstances which context. Key concepts analysis context are drivers, i.e., those factors enabling, fostering facilitating OSH interventions. However, concept driver an is both confused contested. Although term widely used, there little consensus how drivers...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare the well-known value stream mapping (VSM) with a recent tool named waste identification diagram (WID), regarding capacity information representation and easiness interpretation. Design/methodology/approach work begins brief literature review comparing main tools for production units, special emphasis on VSM WID, in terms ability identify several types waste. Then, authors developed WID specific unit after that groups composed by students...

The current work can be seen as a starting point for the discussion of problematic on risk acceptance criteria in occupational environments. Some obstacles to quantitative formulation and use were analyzed. A look long tradition major hazards accidents was also performed. This shows that organizations have several difficulties pre-defined assessment methodologies inadequate some cases. It is urgent define guidelines help

Collecting anthropometric data for real-life applications demands a high degree of precision and reliability. It is important to test new equipment that will be used collectionOBJECTIVE:Compare two gathering techniques - manual methods Kinect-based 3D body scanner understand which them gives more precise reliable results.The was collected using measuring tape scanner. evaluated in terms by considering the regular relative Technical Error Measurement reliability Intraclass Correlation...

This paper presents a methodology to implement Lean Production (LP) in Portuguese Textile and Garment Industry (TGI). is well-known work organizational model being, nowadays, widely implemented all sort of industries services companies. LP responds customers’ demand for on-time delivery high quality products at reduced costs, through continuous waste elimination (e.g., overproduction, raw materials, energy water more than necessary, among others). In this included, besides the tools...

Remote laboratories have been developed to support the studentsâ?? learning and reduce equipment costs. More more, play an important role in engineering teaching, since they allow connection between theory practice. Actually, there is necessity change strategies methodologies of education. The remote enable access all students anytime, anywhere because are available on Internet. This paper presents firsts developments innovative laboratory bioengineering area: RePhyS. RePhyS will be a for...

The objective of this paper is to discuss Lean Production (LP) as a work organizational model that fosters sustainable environment in the companies.This achievable through some tools and initiatives that, when applied reduces energy, water consumption, environmental waste raw-materials consumption improves leanness agility.This focuses Textile Clothing Industry (TCI) brings up proposals, and/or projects are related with aims.Traditionally, TCI had been greatly dependent on natural resources:...

Lean production is an organisational management model that increases productivity by eliminating wastes (Muda), physical strain or overburden (Muri), and irregularity (Mura) (3M).These last two are related to the way people work, which frequently harder instead of smarter.LP helps in achieving smart effective methods work.This paper aims illustrate synergy between LP ergonomics analysis a set final year projects developed context master's degrees dissertations Industrial Engineering.It...

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) typically present difficulties in engaging and interacting their peers. Thus, researchers have been developing different technological solutions as support tools for children ASD. Social robots, one example of these solutions, are often unaware game partners, preventing the automatic adaptation behavior to user. Information that can be used enrich this interaction and, consequently, adapt system is recognition actions user by using RGB cameras...

This paper conducts a systematic literature review to explore the dynamic interplay among ergonomics, design thinking, and artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML). In rapidly evolving world, convergence of ergonomics Innovation plays critical role in creating products spaces valued for their comfort, usability, aesthetics. Using Elicit, academic papers are identified elucidate relationships these disciplines. The team reviews selects relevant papers, employing large language...
