Movement analysis
The study of schedule of a technological operation reveals the schedule that allows a shorter path of movement and optimal sequence of grips and movements in the operation. Better schedule and sequence lead to the increasing of labour productivity and better humanization in work, as well as better utilization of existing resources, shortening the total length of moving the objects of work, reducing the number of grips, shortening the duration of the operation.
Organizational
model is different from the production technology and it can be made in a
written form or acquired during a long series of repetitions, and it is caused
by:
- schedule in the
workplace,
- sequence of performing the task and
- interdependence of
performing the grips.
•
workplace must have the optimal size,
•
working conditions should correspond to standards,
•
equipment should enable work in a standing or sitting position (employee
elects)
•
equipment should be located in the optimal zone is selected according to the
frequency of handling,
•
arrange the equipment to provide the optimal sequence of movements in the
operation and
•
arrange the equipment for supplying the workplace so that it should be optimal
in relation to employees and inter phase transport.

We need to stand more often
Because:
1. Standing reduces risk of weight gain and obesity.
2. Standing vs sitting lowers risk of heart disease.
3. Standing helps lower risk of type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
4. Standing lowers long-term mortality risk.
5. Standing helps reduce the risk of cancer.
6. Standing can help ease or reduce chronic back pain.
7. Standing helps increase energy levels and improve mood.
8. Standing while working boosts productivity.
9. Standing while working helps tone muscles.

Cognitive ergonomics
Cognitive ergonomics deals with mental processes such as perception,
memory, thinking and mobility and the way they are affected by the interaction
with the remains of the observed system. The most important aspects include mental effort, decision
making, interaction with computers, human reliability and work stress.
Cognitive ergonomics concentrates
on the analysis of thought processes: mental work load, decision making and
planning that are required from knowledge workers (Marmaras and Kontogiannis,
2001).
The process by which a human is orientated among phenomena and things of the outside world is called the cognitive process consisting of: feeling,
perception, learning, thinking and memory.
Senses are reflections of certain features of objects and phenomena of the
outside world in our minds.
Perception is a process that gives meaning to sensory information, connects previous experience
and current experience,
establishes and maintains internal
cohesion and unity of knowledge about the relevant parts of the outside world, or reality in general. Important
objects of perception in organizations are:
o
The perception of
work performance.
o
The perception of organizational roles.
o
The perception of personality.
o The perception of certain groups or categories of members of the organization.

Sitting or Standing Operator Workplace?
In the design of the workplace, the position of the operator must be considered. Should the operator work from a sitting position, standing position or a combined sitting and standing position?
Sitting is physiologically most favorable position at work and should be used whenever the nature of the work allows. When sitting, a human spends only about 5% more energy than when lying quietly. What the static muscle strain will be while sitting depends largely on the design of the chair and its connection to the workplace. Sitting, if the body is supported ideally, consumes 20% less energy than standing when doing the same job. The pressure on the spine in a sitting bent position is up to 50% less than in the upright standing.
When sitting the energy consumption is reduced, and the legs are free of load. Sitting gives stability to the upper body and less strain on the cardiovascular system. According to research, people tend to sit:
Problems arising when sitting are the following:
For comfortable sitting not only the characteristics of the seat and backrest are important, but also the other factors such as feelings, relief, comfort and relaxation of the body, as well as fatigue, biomechanical conditions, stress and blood circulation. According to De Looze, Kujit-Evers and Van Dieën J. theoretical model of comfort and discomfort and its underlying factors at the human, seat and context level.
Where prolonged sitting at work is required, the following measures should be taken:
1. Adopt a good sitting position by learning how to adjust the workstation to fit individual needs for specific tasks.
2. Select a chair with:
4. Introduce five minutes of exercise, such as walking for every 40 to 50 minutes of sitting.
Standing is one of the basic positions of the body. Standing workplace is defined as the workplace at which the task is done in a relatively static standing position at one workplace. In a standing position, the body is held upright with the help of large muscles of the lower extremities and trunk. When standing with the help of the upper extremities the burden can be carried, with the movements of lower torso and legs used to enable the force to move these loads. In order to perform work tasks certain movements of the whole body must be performed, such as bending, turning and moving the trunk, reaching up and aside, while the legs remain in a relatively stable position.
Standing, in contrast to sitting, includes the static strain of major muscle groups, so that the energy consumption is by about 10-15% higher than at rest in a lying position. But standing is a very productive position for people with regard to the fact that energy consumption and normal standing on two legs hardly require any effort. Moderately hard and difficult task should be performed while standing, because the body must use large force. In applying large forces the body uses large muscles that are found on the shoulders, back and thighs.
A person's body is affected by the arrangement of the work area and by the tasks that he or she does while standing. The layout of the workstation, the tools, and the placement of keys, controls and displays that the worker needs to operate or observe will determine, and as rule, limit the body positions that the worker can assume while standing. As a result, the worker has fewer body positions to choose from, and the positions themselves are more rigid. This gives the worker less freedom to move around and to rest working muscles.
The basic principles of good job design for standing work are:
Continuous standing or sitting while working is a common source of discomfort and fatigue. Frequent changes of body positions, including alternating between sitting and standing, help to avoid fatigue. It is therefore desirable to have both standing and sitting arrangement for any work task. Whenever possible, a worker should be able to work sitting or standing at will.

| Workers position in workplace |
- At the front of the chair seat 15%.
- In the middle of the chair seat 52%.
- On the back of the chair seat 33%.
- Leaned back in the chair 42%, and
- Hands resting on the table 40%.
Problems arising when sitting are the following:
- deviation of the spine,
- weakening of the abdominal muscles – so-called "sitting stomach", and
- bad effect on digestive organs.
For comfortable sitting not only the characteristics of the seat and backrest are important, but also the other factors such as feelings, relief, comfort and relaxation of the body, as well as fatigue, biomechanical conditions, stress and blood circulation.

1. Adopt a good sitting position by learning how to adjust the workstation to fit individual needs for specific tasks.
2. Select a chair with:
- controls that are easy to operate from sitting position
- a seat that adjusts for both height and tilt
- a seat that does not put pressure the back of thighs or knees
- a backrest that is shaped to support the lower back and does not give way
- a front edge curved downwards
- non-slip, breathable fabric on the seat
- a stable five-point base
- a minimum seat width of 40 cm
- arm rests where practical, that do not interfere with free movements within the workstation
4. Introduce five minutes of exercise, such as walking for every 40 to 50 minutes of sitting.

| Different body positions during working |
- Change working positions frequently so that working in one position is of a reasonably short duration.
- Avoid extreme bending, stretching and twisting.
- Pace work appropriately.
- Allow workers suitable rest periods to relax; exercises may also help.
- Provide instruction on proper work practices and the use of rest breaks.
Continuous standing or sitting while working is a common source of discomfort and fatigue. Frequent changes of body positions, including alternating between sitting and standing, help to avoid fatigue.

Ergonomics in the Garment Industry
Ergonomics in the Garment Industry discusses the importance of
ergonomics in the garment industry, with a detailed scientific analysis and
examples from the garment industry. Application of ergonomics through the
standardization of micro and macro environment in the garment industry provides
an example of how to design the present and future processes; increases the
efficiency and productivity of production; improves health, safety and comfort
of people in the working environment.
Knowledge of ergonomic conditions prevents employee discomfort, fatigue
and physical injury. Injury related to poor ergonomic conditions can be
prevented by designing the physical work environment around the physical needs
of individual employees. Therefore, it is necessary to know physiological,
psycho-sociological and anthropometric ergonomic conditions.
It is important to analyze each workplace in the production of garments
and find the way how to reduce the health problems of workers to a minimum with
maximum increase of productivity. Chapters analyze divisions of ergonomics;
conditions of work; ergonomic principles in designing workplace, working
processes and environment, determining working time and handling material;
ergonomics in the storage of textile materials; ergonomics workplaces in
garment manufacture preparation, cutting room, sewing room and finishing room,
and garment warehouse and stores.
