The application of an ergonomics workload assessment program on android operating system in an industrial factory

Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate and develop an ergonomics workload assessment program on the android operating system. This study used an ergonomics working posture assessment, i.e. Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), as the basic principle to design and develop the application on android operating system. Then the program was designed, and developed. After that the program was evaluated its performance and applied to an industrial factory. The results showed that the program can be practically applied in the industrial factory. The value of the input data and the summarize information of the assessment were accurate. From the tryout of the program in an industrial factory, it appeared that after modified the workstation, the assessment score was in level 1 which is an acceptable level
