3. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 Tool 1: Health & Performance Check The tool helps you to monitor and manage your machine operators' health situation their level of performance. This is necessary to observe and act upon changes that might impede production.

4. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 Structure of tool The tool consists of four parts: 1.An operator questionnaire 2.A contractor logbook 3.A result presentation 4.Values for Tool 2

5. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 To install the tool 1.Save a copy of tool on hard disc 2.Open Excel and tool 3.Push ‚Enable Macros‘ in window which opens → 4.Set ‚security level‘ to medium 

6. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 To set security level in Excel a)Open menu ‚Tools‘ b)Choose ‚Macros  ‘ Security... c)Choose ‚Medium‘ under tag: ‚Security level‘ in window which opens → d)Push ‚OK‘

10. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 Managers data input sheet Insert date for data collection Adjust for current number of operators Enter data from questionnaires into appropriate cells Results will be calculated automatically

11. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 IMPORTANT 1 ! The analysis program will not work correctly, if you do not specify the ‘number of working hours last week’ in row 23 for each operator: 231 Working hours last week 424736125511

12. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 IMPORTANT 2 ! The analysis program will not give the correct values for Tool 2: Cost/Benefit-Check unless you enter in row 22 for each operator whether he is mainly a harvester or mainly a forwarder operator. 22 Operating: harvester (1), forwarder (2) 122211

13. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 Contractor’s log book 1.The number of periods must correspond to the number of periods in ‘Data input’. 2.Document ill health and lost performance in the blue fields with data from own records.

14. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 Contractor’s log book 3.Record circumstances of importance in the blue field THE PERIODS WERE CHARACTERIZED BY:  Period 1:  Period 2:  Period 3:  Period 4:  Period 5: These records are important for estimation of costs and working out preventive measures.

16. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 Collection of ideas 5.Document information from questions 10 and 11 Best means to improve health and performance? Other important circumstances?

17. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 Longitudinal follow up Check once more! that all operators has a value for ‘number of working hours last week’ in row 23 on the 'Data input' sheet. make sure that every new period is labeled in the first column of the period on row 19 on the ‘Data input’ sheet.

18. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 Colour key to results Green No action needed. All operators have chosen the most positive answer. Light yellow Action might be necessary within time Dark yellow Action must be taken soon Orange Action must be taken immediately Red Severe problem. Action must be taken immediately

19. Ewa Lidén Kassel Project No. 030300-2 Presentation 2009 Interpretation of results Identify: 1.Company strengths  green cells 2.Company weaknesses  red cells  dark yellow cells … to target the ergonomic investments!
