| dc.description.abstract | The ergonomic systems design framework requires an analysis of the key
characteristics of a work and its component tasks before potential solutions can be
identified. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a multi-criteria decision-making
(MCDM) technique that aids the decision-maker when confronted with a complicated
issue including numerous subjective and conflicting criteria. In order to develop a
multi-criteria ergonomic approach for choosing the ideal material handling method in
an industry, this paper will demonstrate the use of the Analytic Hierarchy Process
(AHP), a well-known multi-criteria decision support tool that can
help calculating local priorities and consistency ratios. In this report, by applying AHP
in solving multi criteria decision making problem related to manufacturing sector to
help company and/or factory resolve ergonomic issue that exist in certain workstation
that can affect to not only the health problems in employees but also the overall
productivity at workplace. The purpose of this work is to provide a summary of the
methodologies for ergonomic inspection criteria and to use the AHP multi-criteria
prioritizing method to pick and prioritize these criteria. | en_US |
