Abstract

The project presented was carried out in a seed plant in the Los Mochis region, Sinaloa, with the purpose of providing proposals for improvements, through different studies, in order to find optimal solutions so that workers have a better performance when carrying out the corresponding activities.

In the company it is necessary to have a work area in which the operator feels comfortable, also to protect health, and to increase the productivity of the same. For this reason the study was carried out to know the problems that could be generated by an inadequate work station, in order to obtain an improvement and have the adequate information on how to carry out the work without risk.

In the development of this study, different ergonomic evaluation techniques were applied such as Yoshitake, 4 points of Luke and Corlet & Bishop Mapping for the analysis of fatigue and possible DTA's (Cumulative Trauma Disorder). Once analyzed, anthropometric measurements were taken for the redesign of the work station, focusing mainly on the worker's seat.
