“…Still, it favors the comfort of lower limbs and blood pressure. Ding et al [ 84 ] explore the variation in muscle activity during prolonged sitting work to analyze the effectiveness of different break types. Up to 72 office workers participated in the experiment, 24 of them in the EMG activity measurement activity.…”

Electromyography (EMG) signals are biomedical signals that measure electrical currents generated during muscle contraction. These signals are strongly influenced by physiological and anatomical characteristics of the muscles and represent the neuromuscular activities of the human body. The evolution of EMG analysis and acquisition techniques makes this technology more reliable for production engineering applications, overcoming some of its inherent issues. Taking as an example, the fatigue monitoring of workers as well as enriched human–machine interaction (HMI) systems used in collaborative tasks are now possible with this technology. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the current implementation of EMG technology within production engineering, its weaknesses, opportunities, and synergies with other technologies, with the aim of developing more natural and efficient HMI systems that could improve the safety and productivity within production environments.

“…De Carvalho (2015) stated walking is one of dynamic activity had rhythm, and their break time for walking to drink is a good choice and it will minimize the effect of static position and reduce postural load. Similar to a study by Ding et al (2020), active rest is changing position and had stretched for 5 minutes give a better muscle performance 30-45 minutes better than passive intervention. In addition, they showed there was minimized of some mistakes in employees while writing or typing after took break time for 3 minutes every 20 minutes (Nakphet, Chaikumarn, & Janwantanakul, 2014).…”

Tailors work in a static position and bend over with a relatively long duration of workPostural muscle load on tailors results in the risk of complaints of low back pain which affects the productivity of tailor. The aim is to know the effect of improving working conditions through a participatory ergonomics approach to reduce low back pain complaints and increase tailor productivity.The method uses of experimental research with treatment by subject design, involving 9 samples selected by simple random sampling. Period 1 sample is working with conventional working conditions. Period 2 samples worked with improving working conditions through a participatory ergonomics approach. Washing out period and adaptation are given between the two periods. Complaints of low back pain were measured by the Oswestry Disability Index, while productivity was based on a comparison between the number of stitches/day and the score for complaints of low back pain per working time. The results showed that improving working conditions through a participatory ergonomics approach had a significant effect (p < 0.05). There was a decreasing in low back pain by 11.87% from an average of 48.67±1.73 to 42.89±1.76 and an increasing in productivity of 42.10% from an average of 0.038±0.004 to 0.054±0.005.

“…So soll es sinnvoll sein, alle 40 min eine aktive Pause zu nehmen, um die durch Sitzhaltung beanspruchte Muskulatur zu entspannen (Ding et al. 2020 ). Zudem sei es laut der Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz wichtig, dass Pausen geplant und vorhersehbar genommen werden und gleichmäßig auf den Arbeitstag verteilt sind (Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin 2019 ).…”

ZusammenfassungDurch die Covid 19 Pandemie und der damit einhergehenden Effekte auf die Arbeitswelt ist die Belastung der Mitarbeitenden in einen stärkeren Fokus gerückt worden. Dieser Umstand trifft unter anderem durch den umfassenden Wechsel in die Remote Work auch auf agile Software-Entwicklungsteams in vielen Unternehmen zu. Eine zu hohe Arbeitsbelastung kann zu diversen negativen Effekten, wie einem erhöhten Krankenstand, dem Wohlbefinden der Mitarbeitenden oder reduzierter Produktivität führen. Es ist zudem bekannt, dass sich die Arbeitsbelastung in der Wissensarbeit auf die Qualität der Arbeitsergebnisse auswirkt. Dieser Forschungsbeitrag identifiziert potenzielle Faktoren der Arbeitsbelastung der Mitglieder eines agilen Software-Entwicklungsteam bei der Otto GmbH & Co KG. Auf der Grundlage der Faktoren präsentieren wir Maßnahmen zur Reduzierung von Arbeitsbelastung und erläutern unsere Erkenntnisse, die wir im Rahmen eines Experiments validiert haben. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass bereits kleinteilige Maßnahmen, wie das Einführen von Ruhearbeitsphasen während des Arbeitstages, zu positiven Effekten bspw. hinsichtlich einer gesteigerten Konzentrationsfähigkeit führen und wie sich diese auf die Qualität der Arbeitsergebnisse auswirken.
