“…Moreover, huge ethnographic variations due to mixing of various races make it difficult to develop national anthropometric and biomechanical data base for countries like India. DHM tools require substantial monetary investments and training which can be afforded mostly by large and resourceful companies (Laring et al, 2005) [52] in developed countries. Lack of awareness is another factor contributing to negligible application of this technology in fast developing economies like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia, Syria, Thailand and other similar countries.…”

Manufacturing strategies adopted by majority of industries in third world/industrially developing countries especially in India and China are still far from world class practices. Competition due to entry of multinational companies is forcing them to turn their attention to seek improvements for long term survival and associated benefits. Ergonomics, more specifically computer aided ergonomics finds a low level of acceptance in manufacturing industries and thus results in poorly designed work system/place, low productivity and prevalence of musculoskeletal problems in industrial workforce. Taking these facts into consideration an effort has been made through extensive literature review to highlight relevance of digital Human Modeling Software (DHMS) as a tool for evaluating, improving existing/ proposed manufacturing workstation/ workplace, and its associated tasks. Attempt has also been made to encourage manufacturing industries (including small and medium scale industries that are unaware of this technology) in developing countries to focus their attention towards this exceptionally useful tool for their betterment. It is strongly recommended that industrial/ production engineers can certainly without any doubt advocate use of DHM as an indispensible tool for developing human centered manufacturing work station/ workplace and harness its benefits.

“…The manufacturing process planning is fundamental [1], since it allows to define and to verify product assembly sequences [2], to create the assembly line layout, to assign the time needed for each operation, to verify lines performances also in terms of productivity and use of the resources, to carry out the lines balancing and to analyze production costs.…”

In the current demanding global marketplace, ensuring that human fit, form and function are comprehensively addressed, is becoming an increasingly important aspect of design and, in particular, obliges the most important automotive industries to develop more flexible assembly lines and better methods for PLM solution. In the meantime, designers attempt to elaborate product development methodologies that conform health and safety standards while still maximizing the productivity. The aim of this work consists in developing a methodology based on preventive ergonomics and feasibility analyses of assembly tasks, simulating a work cell, in which acts a digital human model (manikin), in order to maximize human safety and performance and analyze manikin interaction in the virtual environment. In ergonomic analyses the OCRA protocol will be used, evaluating different involvement degrees of upper limb segments. The methodology is carried out by ergonomic tool of DELMIA software, using Digital Human Models technology

Mixed-model assembly lines enable automotive manufacturers to build different vehicles using the same equipment and facility. They allow a more rapid response to changes in customer demand. However, the increased production flexibility creates new challenges regarding assembly line planning and balancing. Part of this problem is how to allocate stock within the workcells so that non-value added operations, such as walking and waiting, are minimized. This paper addresses the issue of workstation layout optimization. Different formulations can be used to minimize non-value added time depending on the level of sophistication desired. We present three different optimization formulations and give an example of an optimized workstation layout.
