Resumen
El proyecto de investigación tiene como objetivo minimizar o eliminar una
condición de riesgo ergonómico en el proceso de ensamble del bloque
contrapeso para la fabricación de cocinas en Mabe esto debido a que varios
operarios estaban presentando molestias musculo-esqueléticas que
afectaban su capacidad productiva. En este puesto de trabajo no se ha
realizado ninguna evaluación de ergonomía, esto llevo a que se comience
a investigar y sugerir un plan para disminuir o eliminar este riesgo
ergonómico. Con estos antecedentes se decidió empezar con una
evaluación ergonómica mediante el método RULA (Rapid Upper Limb
Assessment), este es un método práctico de aplicación y evaluación.
Dentro de las actividades productivas que realizan los operarios que
ensamblan el bloque contrapeso se observan movimientos inadecuados al
manipular ese material, esto representa demanda física alta por el peso,
los movimientos repetitivos, por lo tanto tienen más exposición a los riesgos
ergonómicos. El desarrollo de la investigación empezó por la observación
directa del operario y sus actividades que realiza para este proceso, se
grabaron videos y se tomaron imágenes durante el tiempo de operación,
estas mismas se utilizaron para aplicar el método de evaluación
ergonómica.
The research project aims to minimize or eliminate an ergonomic risk condition in the assembly process of the counterweight block for the manufacture of kitchens in Mabe this because several operators presenting musculoskeletal discomforts affecting their productive capacity. No ergonomics assessment has been carried out at this workplace, and this has led to the investigation, and suggests the implementation of a plan to reduce or eliminate this ergonomic risk. With this background it was decided to start with an ergonomic evaluation using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method, this is a practical method of application and evaluation. Within the productive activities carried out by the workers who assemble the counterweight block, inadequate movements are observed when manipulating this material, this represents high physical demand due to weight, repetitive movements, therefore they have more exposure to ergonomic risks. The development of the research began with the direct observation of the operator and activities performed for this process, videos were recorded and images were taken during the operation time, these were used to apply the ergonomic evaluation method.
