This page covers my most representative coursework in the Introduction to Work Design class (aka IE 327 – Six Sigma minor). IE 327 is an introductory junior class that focuses on the basic principles and tools for analyzing and designing the manufacturing job in a scientifically economical and effective manner. The topics covered include, but not limited to, human information processing, basic auditory and visual displays, time study, anthropometry and musculoskeletal principles, cumulative trauma disorders, and work measurement. The class is practice-based, so I was able to exposed to many actual industrial manufacturing problems, which greatly improved my problem analysis and redesigning skills. Followed are some of the main formal reports which my team worked on during the course.
Case study 3. Biomechanical analysis of lifting
Case study 4. CTD analysis & Workplace/Tool Design and Ethics
Case study 6. Information processing and ATM redesign
Case study 8. Ultrasound transducer redesign
Case study 9. Implementation of new method
Case study 10. Time study
