ABSTRACT
An ergonomic approach to the design of an industrial workstation attempts to achieve an appropriate balance between the worker capabilities and the work requirements to “optimize” both worker productivity and the total system productivity, as well as to provide worker physical and mental well-being, job satisfaction and safety. In a real world design situation, the implementation of the recommendations or guidelines needs the matching of the population anthropometry with the various components of the workstation (Das and Sengupta, 1996).
