ABSTRACT
This paper describes the results of an experimental study conducted to investigate the effects of assembly of a product on operator performance. A fully adjustable ergonomically designed assembly workstation (smart workstation) was used for the experiment. Ten college students (five boys group and five girls group) randomly assigned into three experimental conditions (table adjustable, chair adjustable, and gender) performed the assembly task. Performances of the participants assembling a product are: operator production rate representing in how many assembly products per unit time (units/hour). The regression model to measure the operator performance was built based on the experimental work using Minitab Statistical Software package. The results shows that female are more productive than male.
