The context of oil platform design is changing in order to increase competitiveness and be prepared for difficult operations, mainly in fields more distant from the coast, like pre-salt. The currently preceding context is marked by projects guidelines designed to reduce projects and operation costs, including an important reducing in the number of people on board. The main objective of this research is to verify and discuss if the experience of use in platforms designed in a previous context, in which the people on board is practically twice, can contribute and/or can be transferred to new projects. From the ergonomic intervention in the design of two oil platform, with the work of team on board investigated on previous projects as reference, it was possible analyze if the previous use is still applicable to new projects. As a result, about 90% of the recommendations based on use are applicable to the current context. The restrictions on the transfer or operational experience are mainly related to the time of entry of ergonomics in the design process, the subsequent transformations costs and the advance of the execution phase started with the detailed design.
The possibility of using pre-defined ergonomic recommendations for projects offshore is related to several factors that encompass the hiring of a specialized ergonomic team to the design phase in which this team is involved in the context of the project. The main objective of this article is to test the usage and discuss the applicability of the Ergonomic Technical Recommendations (TRs), developed using the Ergonomic Work Analysis methodology. Although the TR files were considered overly long to read/become familiarised, the contextualization of the TRs through the configurations of use and the ergonomic study, or the "specialists", were fundamental in leading the ergonomic directives to being considered and implemented.
BACKGROUND: The need for participative approaches in design is a key concern for Ergonomics. There exists a vast array of philosophies and techniques which may come under the heading of participation, but several of these methods are indeed not really participatory in the real sense of the concept. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to reveal the elements that allow an ergonomic simulation approach to be applied as a design process method centered on the work perspective and anchored on the participation concept. METHODS: This study is centered on the subsequent analysis of a case study: the design of an Onshore Collaborative Center (OCC), in the context of Integrated Operations (IO) of the oil industry. The simulation sessions were filmed and recorded, and a logbook of the progress of the design process was produced daily in order to preserve the memory of the case. RESULTS: The main result of the research highlights that simulation is a method capable of presenting work as an important factor in the transformation of the project, as well as in technical choices, in addition to opening space for different participants and their various perspectives. However, for it to be an effective method of participation, there is the need for a “back and forth” process between work analysis and simulation during the ergonomic simulation approach. CONCLUSION: This study showed which elements support the construction of ergonomic simulation as a method capable of structuring the participation in design process. For this, the simulation must be based on work analysis and articulate the knowledge of different actors for decision-making to allow for new developments while promoting the vision of work as an important decision variable in the design process.
Introdução: Com o advento da pandemia, o projeto de extensão Café-Ergo que realizava encontros quinzenais, presenciais, para a discussão acerca da saúde e trabalho com base na Ergonomia da Atividade, teve que se recriar ao digitalizar o ensino, migrando para podcast e redes sociais. Objetivo: analisar e discutir a percepção dos estudantes extensionistas sobre como foi realizado o processo de digitalização do referido projeto de extensão e como isso impactou na disseminação dos saberes sobre saúde dos trabalhador. Método: Comparar os números de pessoas que compareciam aos encontros presenciais com o número de visualizações do podcast. Resultados parciais: A média de visualizações dos podcast foi 71, enquanto a média de pessoas nos encontros presenciais foi de 12 pessoas. Conclusão: O processo de digitalização do café ergo de fato teve um impacto positivo no sentido da acessibilidade de conteúdo, contudo, as trocas satisfatórias que nos encontros presenciais que eram obtidas, não são alcançadas por meio do podcast.
O presente artigo tem como objetivo mapear como a pesquisa e a tecnologia da manufatura aditiva contribuíram para o enfrentamento da pandemia do COVID 19 no Brasil. Por meio do mapeamento e análise da literatura na base de dados do Congresso Nacional de Engenharia de Produção (ENEGEP), foi possível compreender o contexto da manufatura aditiva no campo da Engenharia de Produção e mapear as ações relacionadas à pesquisa da manufatura aditiva e à produção rápida de equipamentos que contribuíram para o enfrentamento da pandemia.
