“…However, only basic 'human factors' (e.g. health and safety, ergonomics, line balancing) are typically regarded and even then at a late stage of the design process (Fadier and Ciccotelli, 1999;Stahl et al, 2000;Bonney et al, 2000 Pacquet andLin, 2003). Therefore, in manufacturing system design inaccuracies may be attributable to the impact of worker variability and individual differences which are "virtually ignored" (Doerr et al, 2002).…”

In most manufacturing systems the contribution of human labour remains a vital element that affects overall performance and output. Workers' individual performance is known to be a product of personal attitudes to work. However, in current system design processes worker performance variability is assumed to be largely insignificant and the potential impact of their attitudes is ignored. This paper describes a field study that investigated the extent to which workers' production task cycle times vary and the degree to which such variations are associated with attitude differences. Results show that worker performance varies significantly, much more than is assumed by contemporary manufacturing systems designers and that this appears to be due to production task characteristics. The findings of this research and their implications are discussed.

In the knowledge economy, human capital is a key factor in any organization to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. Thus, selection of competent personnel is the most important function of human resource managers. However, because of a wide range of criteria and organizational factors that affect the process, personnel selection is often regarded as a complex problem that can be answered through multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) procedures. Despite the great importance of determining a comprehensive set of criteria, it has not gained enough attention in the literature. This study presents a competency framework with five criteria for choosing the best information technology (IT) expert from five alternatives. The stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) and grey additive ratio assessment (ARAS-G) methods are also used to derive the criteria weights and provide the final alternative, respectively. The results reveal that subject competency is the major criteria in IT personnel selection.
