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.

Physiological conditions
When the requirements of work are such that a man can overcome them by making an effort, the functional ability of his body and his health are not endangered and there is ergonomic balance. In that sense, the physiology of work deals with:
o Defining the workload;
o Defining the requirements of work;
o Studying human physiological abilities and the size of physiological effort he can make in order to respond to the requirements of work.
(1) Defining the workload
Performing each work is a kind of a burden for the body. The type, intensity and duration of the load depend on the work. Physiological workloads should be such that the body can respond to them through physiological functions, i.e. to maintain homeostasis when working. The load that can not be overcome leads to disorders of homeostasis (the balance in the body is lost) which is an overload that causes fatigue. In case of further increasing the intensity of overload, there is a pathological response of the body, i.e. fatigue.
Loads can be physical, mental and sensory.
Physical work (the work of skeletal muscles) is a major cause of physical load because of work. Physical work means the work that a man does while overcoming the burden and resistance. Physical work can be dynamic and static work.
(2) Defining the requirements of work
Requirements of work define what the workload and adverse effects require from the organism of workers and can be the following:
- Requests for certain functions of the organism. In addition to general health conditions, the work requires some particularly preserved functions of organs and systems or some particularly preserved or marked morphological features of a man.
- Requests for certain age limits of a worker. Depending on the age, some functions are established, some are changed, some disappear or are reduced, so that the same work shall not place the same demands on quite young, middle-aged or older workers.
- Requests for a specific sex of a worker. These requirements are not common, and are based on specific differences in the physiology of female and male body.
(3) Size of physiological effort
A man must make an effort in order to deal with the load imposed by a certain work. The analysis of work can specify which functions of the body will be exposed to the influence of that work. So the individual workplace should always be analysed, not the occupation.
The bigger the load is, the bigger the effort is, although not all the people make the same effort to deal with the same load. In determining the effort, the following has to be determined:
- the limit of physiological strain at rest,
- the level of physiological response to work impact, and
- the boundary between physiological and pathological responses.

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.

Muscle-bone disorders
The main objective of physical ergonomics is to increase
comfort, to reduce pain and the occurrence of muscle-bone disorders. The International Commission on Occupational
Health (ICOH) defines
a Muscle-bone disorders (MSD) associated with
work as such disorders and diseases of musculoskeletal system that have a causal determinant
which is associated with work.
Damages and degenerative changes of the musculoskeletal system are the consequence of mismatch between the requirements for the load of
organism and the abilities of
organism to respond to those requests.

Problems of health and safety
Employees in industry often deal with problems of
health, safety, motivation and efficiency of workers, depending on the
production process and working space. According to the European Foundation for
the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions in EU countries 62% of workplaces include repetitive movements
of arms and hands, 46% body positions that cause pain and fatigue, 35% handling
heavy burdens, 56% of jobs require work with the short timescale and 54% work
in a fast pace, 42% do not allow vacations and 31% are against free rhythm.
About 40% of all employees during at least 25% of their working time are
exposed to at least three factors for the development of diseases of systems
for movement.
