The transportation systems contribute very vital role in growth of country, either it may private, public or own transportation system, and to keep the automobiles or machine in good condition without any interruption consistent corrective or preventive maintenance has to be done, and this maintenance activities should take the least time and cost of maintenance along with good quality, and to achieve this it is preferred to design a good maintenance workstation with a systematic ergonomic consideration which has a great influence on time, service, comfort, quality, productivity. For the design of a maintenance workstation, systematic ergonomic procedures are considered these procedures should concern for good ergonomically design of workstation. In an actual design of workstation ergonomically approach is needed concern of the worker anthropometric data with the various parameter of the workstation like adequate posture, work table or chair height, position of the operating nobs and levers comfortable sufficient working areas that help to reduce MSD (Musculoskeletal disorder) and prevent injuries of worker along with enhancing productivity. The main objective of this paper is to propose a systematic ergonomically designed maintenance workstation. Existing workstation of Maintenance in MSRTC (Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation) Solapur workshop, is not designed with consideration of Ergonomic principle, so the ergonomic analysis has been made for different posture of maintenance activity, and modifications in workstation has been suggested. For analysis CATIA software is used, Manikin (simulated posture of worker) has been developed based on the anthropometric data collected from MSRTC for RULA analysis under quasi-static loading and dynamic loading conditions.
