“…Завдяки цій взаємодії умови праці мають значний вплив на ефективність виробництва, показники безпеки та можливу кількість помилок. У статті [8] розглянуто методологію дослідження ризику у контексті безпеки через ефективність працівника при виконанні виробничих завдань. Оцінювання рівня продуктивності працівника та прогнозування помилкових дій можливо реалізувати за допомогою модифікованої версії моделі Раша, де ймовірність певного результату моделюється як функція різниці між мож-ливостями людини та складністю об'єкта.…”

The modern approach to ensuring the occupational safety of workers in Ukraine should rely on a risk-oriented approach. Essential requirements for risk assessment methods are a sufficient level of informativeness, reliability of results, and the ability to adapt them to the conditions in which the methods will apply. In particular, it concerns the assessment of injury risks at workplaces of representatives of vulnerable groups of workers—primarily elderly workers and workers with disabilities. Difficulties in assessing workplace injury risks for vulnerable groups of workers limit the development of occupational inclusion at a time when promoting the employment of people with disabilities has become a key priority for governments around the world. The article aims to develop a methodology for assessing risks at the workplaces of employees with disabilities one can use to evaluate the level of risk at enterprises, particularly in small and medium-sized businesses. When determining the injury risks to employees of vulnerable groups, one should account for both the individual characteristics of the employee and the characteristics of the workplace and work process. The input information is the conclusions of the medical experts regarding the types and degrees of impact of life restrictions, as well as the value of individual risk according to the company’s field of activity. The analysis of the workplace, planned for the employment of a person with a disability, of the technological process, and the surrounding working environment follows the factors the company forms based on their internal and external context. Comparing the result with the limit value of the risk is necessary to decide on the possibility of performing work tasks by the employee and the need to take additional safety measures. When choosing a risk threshold against which to compare the assessment result, the company must consider its goals for achieving the required level of safety. Thus, this technique allows one to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the level of risk at the disabled employee’s workplace, which will contribute to increasing the level of occupational safety and professional integration of persons with disabilities. Keywords: risk, disability, workplace, labour process, injuries.

“…También las PYMES deben fusionarse con las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC), al esto representar un factor de mejoramiento en el rendimiento, competitividad e innovación, además es una estrategia rentable y que genera mayor participación en el mercado conectando a su vez los procesos internos y entablando relaciones humanas y con el entorno beneficiosas [14]. Por último, en todo este proceso no hay que dejar de lado, el factor humano, que implica un gran impacto en diferentes áreas de la fabricación de un producto, en consecuencia, con esto se implementa el modelo Rasch, que predice el rendimiento y el error humano en las empresas, la evaluación se da en función de la complejidad de la tarea, las habilidades, formación y experiencia del colaborador, determinando así la capacidad del operador [15].…”

El estudio del trabajo es un método sistemático para el incremento de la productividad en una empresa que busca examinar e investigar todos los factores que influyen en la eficiencia del desempeño, en el desarrollo de esta es recurrente mencionar diversos temas como las condiciones de trabajo, análisis de operaciones, diagramas de procesos, entre otros. El objetivo del siguiente proyecto es analizar procesos productivos aplicando las herramientas del estudio del trabajo con la finalidad de encontrar cuellos de botellas y proponer mejoras para incrementar la productividad de la empresa. Por esto se realizó una visita a una empresa para analizar su productividad y los cuellos de botella presentes en el proceso de la empresa. Es así como se implementó un estudio de métodos y de tiempos permitiendo un mejor análisis crítico del proceso, gracias a eso se pudo establecer una mejor distribución del proceso y unas propuestas a futuro para el mejoramiento y crecimiento de la productividad de la empresa.

“…During this test, the time to complete the path and the number of errors committed were recorded. The conceptual model represented in Figures 2 and 3 has already been tested and applied in the automotive domain [22], but it is also a general model that could be adapted to different applications [14,26]. The underpinning requirements are to characterise the variables in a way that can be operationalized for a given environment, as explained in the next paragraph.…”

“…In this sense there is an emerging need to provide transparent and clear guidance or an approach for a good match between operators and workstations. The present study decided to adapt a recently developed human performance model (HPm), called the TERM (task execution reliability model) [14]. TERM is a framework that has been adopted to assess human error in assembly tasks, utilizing an adapted version of the Rasch model, which is widely used for human performance and human factor assessment in many areas [15].…”

Human factors play a relevant role in the dynamic work environments of the manufacturing sector in terms of production efficiency, safety, and sustainable performance. This is particularly relevant in assembly lines where humans are widely employed alongside automated and robotic agents. In this situation, operators’ ability to adapt to different levels of task complexity and variability in each workstation has a strong impact on the safety, reliability, and efficiency of the overall production process. This paper presents an application of a theoretical and empirical method used to assess the matching of different workers to various workstations based on a quantified comparison between the workload associated with the tasks and the human capability of the workers that can rotate among them. The approach allowed for the development of an algorithm designed to operationalise indicators for workload and task complexity requirements, considering the skills and capabilities of individual operators. This led to the creation of human performance (HP) indices. The HP indices were utilized to ensure a good match between requirements and capabilities, aiming to minimise the probability of human error and injuries. The developed and customised model demonstrated encouraging results in the specific case studies where it was applied but also offers a generalizable approach that can extend to other contexts and situations where job rotations can benefit from effectively matching operators to suitable task requirements.
