Ergonomics adapts work, equipment and the working environment to people’s physical and cognitive capabilities. Its purpose is to reduce fatigue, discomfort and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders while enabling safe, efficient and reliable performance.
In Lean operations, ergonomic analysis is integrated into workplace and product design. Teams examine posture, reach, force, repetition, visibility, handling and the organization of tasks. Improving these conditions supports employee well-being, quality, productivity and the long-term sustainability of standard work.
