Optimized Production Plan Under Ergonomic Aspects and Operational Effectiveness

The well-being of operators plays a key role in enhancing efficiency, productivity, and demand fulfillment in manufacturing systems. Improving both ergonomic conditions and operational effectiveness is essential for cost optimization, taking in account inventory cost, while meeting demand. This paper explores the integration of ergonomic considerations with production strategies. Recognizing the interconnectedness of these factors, we propose practical solutions to enhance system performance while safeguarding operator health. A model is developed incorporating inputs from ergonomic metrics, production process and production demand. Thus, the total production cost was optimized under the predefined constraints to balance productivity and worker well-being while meeting production targets within service level agreements. The results of our model demonstrate the effectiveness of our ergonomic strategy in optimizing production plans, which enhances production output and reduces costs while balancing the workload for operators.
