THE ERGONOMIC RISK ANALYSIS WITH REBA METHOD IN PRODUCTION LINE
Öz
Ergonomics is a group of multidisciplinary studies that investigate and improve the compatibility of humans with the machine and the environment by examining the physical, environmental and psychological risk factors. The primary purpose of ergonomics is to ensure employee health and safety, and increase work efficiency (such as reduced idle capacity, increased production, increased product quality). Because employing workers in a healthy and safe condition enables an increase in work efficiency. In this study, ergonomic risk analysis was selected on the production line of an enterprise with the REBA method and suggestions for improvement were included. The working cluster consists of 30 unskilled workers on the production line. As a result of the analysis, 66.6% of the production process is at medium risk and 33.4% is at high risk. After the improvement works to be done, it is expected that ergonomic risks would reduce and an increase in production and efficiency.
