Manual Materials Handling Prepared by: Ahmed M. El-Sherbeeny, PhD King Saud University College of Engineering IE – 341: “Human Factors Engineering” Fall – 2017 (1st Sem. 1438-9H) Manual Materials Handling (Chapter 8) part 2 – Case Studies Prepared by: Ahmed M. El-Sherbeeny, PhD

Lesson Overview Part 1: What is MMH? MMH Activities MMH Effect on Health NIOSH Lifting Equation Part 2: Case Studies Case 1: Effect of Frequency Factor on RWL Case 2: Effect of Horizontal Distance on RWL Case 3: Effect of Vertical Distance on RWL

Case 1: Effect of Frequency Factor on RWL Problem Statement: Analyze the following work task. A worker lifts 10 kg boxes from the conveyor to the cart, ten times every minute for two-hours. 6 sec

Case 1: Effect of Frequency Factor on RWL Solution: First, calculate the recommended weight limit (RWL) for the task Determine the weight of the load. Weight = 10 kg Assess the six components of lifting task. H (Horizontal Distance) 20 cm V (Vertical Distance) 75 cm D (Lifting/ carrying Distance) 0 cm A (Angle) 90° F (Frequency) 6 sec C (Coupling/quality of grip) fair

Case 1: Effect of Frequency Factor on RWL Select appropriate multiplier factors for each lifting component from the appropriate tables H (Horizontal Distance) 20 cm HM 1 V (Vertical Distance) 75 cm VM 0.99* D (Lifting/ carrying Distance) 0 cm DM A (Angle) 90° AM 0.71 F (Frequency) 6 sec FM 0.26 C (Coupling/quality of grip) fair CM * note, formula produces VM = 1.0 (which can be used here instead of 0.99); either case will not produce a great difference in the results!

Case 1: Effect of Frequency Factor on RWL Determine the Recommended Weight Limit for the task: RWL = 23 kg * 1 * .99 * 1 * 0.71 * 0.26 * 1 = 4 .2 kg Compare weight of the load against determined weight limit for the task: weight of load: L (10 kg) > RWL (4.2 kg) LI (lifting index) = L / RWL = 10 / 4.2 = 2.38 (i.e. 1<LI<3  lifting is risky) Conclusion: Task is Dangerous

Case 1: Effect of Frequency Factor on RWL Check results using NIOSH Lifting Eqn Calculator: Q: which RWL should we take (origin or destination) and why? [A: always take the worst case scenario into account]

Case 1: Effect of Frequency Factor on RWL Recommendations: Assess which component(s) contribute(s) most to the risk the critical factor is FM ⇒ it is required to reconsider the frequency of lifting and/or duration of task Shorten the frequency of lifting by: reducing the frequency of incoming boxes (i.e. increasing F) and/or assigning additional workers to task, and/or shortening the time of the task to 1 hour

Case 1: Effect of Frequency Factor on RWL Recommendations (Cont.): * Note how we just moved only one step in the FM table: i.e. from 2 hours to 1 hour, and up from 6 sec to the nearest reading @ 10 sec

Case 1: Effect of Frequency Factor on RWL Redesign the Task Assess the six components in the redesigned task Determine new RWL: RWL =23 kg * 1 * .99 * 1 * 0.71 * 0.75 * 1 = 12.1 kg Compare weight of the box against determined weight limit for redesigned task: weight of load (10 kg): now < RWL (12.1 kg) Also, new LI = L / RWL = 10 / 12.1 = 0.83 (i.e. LI < 1) Conclusion: most workers can perform the task safely (why most?) * Note assuming only redesigning F (i.e. no change in AM), the min. FM such that W ≤ RWL  FM ≥ W / (LC * AM) ≥ 10 / (23 * 0.71) ≥ 0.612; and 0.75 is both close and greater than 0.612 * Also note assuming redesigning A (i.e. no change in FM), the min AM such that W ≤ RWL  AM ≥ W / (LC * FM) ≥ 10 / (23 * 0.26) ≥ 1.67, which is not possible since all multipliers must be ≤ 1

Case 1: Effect of Frequency Factor on RWL Check results using NIOSH Lifting Eqn Calculator: Q: which RWL should we take (origin or destination) and why? [A: always take the worst case scenario into account]

Case 2: Effect of Horizontal Dist. on RWL Problem Statement: Analyze the following work task. A worker lifts 15 kg boxes from the table to the shelf, five times an hour. Notice that there is a barrier between the worker and the box. Class exercise or Solve for extra credit

Case 3: Effect of Vertical Distance on RWL Problem Statement: Analyze the following work task. A worker lifts a 15 kg load of loosely-piled pieces of metal from the floor to the table, five times an hour. Class exercise or Solve for extra credit
