The paper presents the objective evaluation and prediction of properties of a fused panel. A system for automatic knowledge acquisition from a given set of examples presents an alternative way to ...build a knowledge base to determine the quality of a fused panel. On the basis of analyses of influential factors of fused panel quality the learning and testing set of examples to predict the bonding strength of fused panel has been formed.
Using industrial engineering methods (OADM, OWAS and MTM methods) the existing workplace design for the technological operation of sewing was analyzed at a workplace equipped with a MAUSER SPECIAL ...2004-130 sewing machine. The analysis showed that the technological operation is typically performed with the head compulsorily positioned in front flexion, with many adverse curvature angles of the spine, and that the sitting is unphysiologic with isometric stress to the lower extremities. It was found that the workplace is not ergonomically designed to correspond with the static anthropometric properties, leading to improper working posture and causing unnecessary strain.
The workplace was redesigned to allow for a more comfortable body posture and to ensure an optimum working method with less strain and fatigue, resulting in greater efficiency of the workplace and better performance of the technological operation.
