OPEN BOOK CALCULATOR 5. (10 pts) You are analyzing a kitting & packaging operation at a local manufacturing facility. At the workstation, the worker fills empty totes (average 15 lbs) with the correct mix of parts from the drop delivery chutes and sends them down a conveyor shipping area. The standard work instructions are: to the Fill the tote according to the product mix sheet. Pick up the tote from the workstation, using the hand-hold cutouts. Drop delivery . view chutes . Place it on the conveyor . At the origin and the 16 W x destination, hold the load very close (hands nearly touching torso). The pace is 1 tote per minute for an 8 hour shift. or to foor . 45 deg SHOW ALL WORK AND STATE ALL ASSUMPTIONS FOR PARTIAL CREDIT LC DM AM FM CMExplanation / Answer
LC = Load Constant 23 kg
HM = Horizontal Multiplier for Horizontal distance (H, in cm) of 16"/2 = 8" or 20.32 cm from the midpoint between the ankles to the hands while holding the object
VM = Vertical Multiplier for The vertical distance (V, in cm) 30"+16"/2 =38" or 96.52 cm of the hands from the ground at the start of the lift.
DM = Distance Multiplier for The vertical distance (D, in cm) 30" - 14" = 16" or 40.64 cm that the load travels.
AM = Asymmetric Multiplier for The twisting angle (A) of 45° of the body while lifting, measured in degrees.
FM = Frequency Multiplier for The frequency (F) of lifts (time between lifts) of 1 minute and the duration of lifting (in minutes or seconds) 8 hours (over an hour) over a workshift.
CM = Coupling Multiplier for The quality of grasp (or coupling, C) classified as good, fair or poor and depends on the body position (either standing or stooping). C=Grasp = Good (handles) and CM factor for Standing = 1.00
RWL = LC x HM x VM x DM x AM x FM x CM = 12.42 kg
RWL = LC HM VM DM AM FM CM 12.4169 23 1 0.93 0.9 0.86 0.75 1Related Questions
