An Integrated Swara and QFD Approach to Minimize Mental Stress of Indian Farmers

Abstract

Farmers are dependent upon various exceptional work-related stressors, a significant number of which have been exasperated as of late by changes in cultivating practice and by other factors. The present was based on in-depth review of literature and analysis of works based on the mental workloads and stresses of framers. The risks associated with the Indian agricultural sectors were identified. And then SWARA method was used for calculating the weights and corresponding ranking of the criterion/parameter along with sub-criteria/sub-parameters were done accordingly. Then, the QFD technique was used to suggest the design parameters so as to minimize the work stress on farmers.

Determining The Weights of Biophilic Design Parameters via SWARA Method

“…The SWARA method has been used to evaluate the criteria and the sub-criteria that affect the farmers mentally. Afterwards, Quality Function Deployment (QFD) technique has been used to suggest design parameters to minimize work stress on farmers (Chauhan et al, 2021).…”
