Production Cells
The facility uses a lean manufacturing approach to production.
In keeping with this method, employees working on
microscopes are cross-trained to different cells and report to
different cells depending on the needs of the business. Each
cell is responsible for the inspection and assembly of a
different product, although similar equipment may be found
in each area and the biomechanical expectations are essentially
the same, as determined by the environment, health,
and safety (EHS) manager and confirmed by the research
team through observation, task analysis, and job description
analysis. Because they were cross-trained and moved through
different cells, all microscope employees experienced similar
exposure to ergonomic risk factors. Supervisors also were
cross-trained to move among cells. At any one time within
the facility, at least three microscope cells were being used.
During this study, however, workers were assigned to a
specific cell, and they reported to this cell each day for the
duration of the study.
