04 Standardized Work & Ergonomic Redesign for LISA Assembly (FO) PFE

Project overview

• Improve and standardize workstations in the LISA Assembly (FO) department focusing on ergonomics and material/tool handling.
• Address non-ergonomic setups, inadequate material and tool supports, and lack of standardized work to reduce operator fatigue and wasted time.

Key tasks & methods

• Conduct workstation balancing activities including time studies, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and cycle time analysis to balance line and sequence of work.
• Propose ergonomic redesigns for workstations and optimized material/tool supports; implement 5S improvements and standard operating procedures.

Expected results & deliverables

• Deliver a balanced production line with clearly defined work sequence and cycle times.
• Achieve ergonomic workstations that reduce operator fatigue and improve productivity; target increase in efficiency by 10%.

Profile & skills

• Suitable for students in Industrial Engineering or similar fields with interest/experience in ergonomics, lean manufacturing and process improvement.
• Recommended skills: time study and VSM knowledge, basic ergonomics principles, ability to produce standard work documentation and 5S implementations.

Practical details

• Duration: 4-6 months as indicated for PFE.
• Deliverables expected: ergonomic workstation designs, standardized work instructions, line balancing analysis (time study/VSM/cycle times), and a report documenting efficiency gains and 5S implementation.
