Hızlı ofis zorlanma değerlendirmesi yönteminin entegre bir çok kriterli karar verme yaklaşımıyla geliştirilmesi

Öz

Günümüzde işe bağlı kas
iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları  (KİSR)  giderek artmakta ve bu durum hem iş
verimliliğini düşürmekte hem de çalışan sağlığını olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu
nedenle KİSR’nın ortaya çıkmadan önce önlenmesi amacıyla çalışma ortamının ergonomik
ilkelere dayanılarak tasarlanması önem taşımaktadır. Bununla birlikte, işletmelerde,
ergonomik açıdan tasarım iyileştirme çalışmalarına başlamadan önce çalışanların
zorlanma düzeyinin yüksek olduğu birimlerin ve bu birimlerdeki ofis
bileşenlerinin belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. 
Bu çalışmada, ofis bileşenlerinin neden olduğu zorlanma düzeylerinin
belirlenmesi ve bu düzeylere göre öncelikli olarak ergonomik iyileştirme
yapılacak birimlerin tespiti için Hızlı Ofis Zorlanma Değerlendirmesi (Rapid
Office Strain Assesment-ROSA) yöntemi temelinde entegre bir çok kriterli karar
verme (ÇKKV) yaklaşımı önerilmiştir. Önerilen yaklaşımda, ofis bileşenleri
nedeniyle oluşan zorlama düzeyleri ROSA yöntemine göre değerlendirilmiş, ofis
bileşenlerinin önem derecelerinin belirlenmesinde ÇKKV yöntemlerinden biri olan
Adım Adım Ağırlık Değerlendirme Oran Analizi (Step-Wise Weight Assessment Ratio
Analysis-SWARA) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Zorlanma düzeylerine göre birimlerin
sıralanmasında ise Ağırlıklandırılmış Bütünleşik Toplam Çarpım Değerlendirmesi
(Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment–WASPAS) yöntemi uygulanmıştır.
Önerilen yaklaşım, havacılık sanayisinde faaliyet gösteren bir firmada
uygulanmış ve zorlanma düzeyini arttıran en önemli ofis bileşeni sandalye
olarak belirlenirken, İmalat Mühendisliği ve ARGE birimleri ise zorlanma düzeyi
en yüksek birimler olarak tespit edilmiştir. Duyarlılık analizi sonucunda ise
birimlerin zorlanma düzeylerine ait sıralamaların değişimi değerlendirilmiştir.
