Work-related musculoskeletal disorders: Comparison of data sources for surveillance
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997-05)
Work-related upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders “associated with repeated trauma” account for more than 60% of all newly reported occupational illness, 332,000 in 1994 according to the U.S. Department of Labor. These ...
Analysis of the tonic vibration reflex: influence of vibration variables on motor unit synchronization and fatigue
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1997-05)
The influence of vibration frequency (40, 80, 100, 120, 150, or 200 Hz) at selected displacement amplitudes (0.2, 0.3 mm) on tonic vibration reflex (TVR) characteristics was investigated. The degree of synchronization of ...
Base-stock control for single-product tandem make-to-stock systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
In this paper, we consider a multiple-stage tandem production/inventory system producing a single product. Processing time at each stage is assumed to have a general stationary processing time distribution. The cost of ...
A reexamination of the distance-based facility layout problem
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-07)
In this paper we qualitatively and numerically compare basic modeling approaches to the distance-based facility layout problem and the types of result obtained from them. In the process we observe that when the facility ...
Development of computerized human static strength simulation model for job design
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997)
This article describes the development of models to predict population static strengths and low back forces resulting from common manual exertions in industry. The resulting biomechanical models are shown to be valid for ...
