Abstract:
Considering user requirements in the design of production systems is a necessity imposed by directives and standards. However, in spite of standards application by companies, many user health problems still happen. So, it becomes a goal of companies to design machines and install manufacturing systems to improve the safety performance of their artefacts. In this paper, we propose to collect data and information concerning the difficult/harsh working conditions when using the artefacts (machine or system) in order to evaluate them from the conception phase to propose new more ergonomic systems/machines. To do this, we analyzed a system used by our partner company and completed our method, which is already proposed in the literature. The application hardness evaluation is presented in the article to demonstrate and evaluate the advantages and limitations of the proposed method.
