Abstract
A method has been developed for optimized representative video recordings for synchronized collection of ergonomic and engineering data in assembly systems using the same film. The method is based on random selection of both operators and starting time of the recordings during the day with some boundary conditions: fixed total recording time (30h) and an upper (3h) and lower (1h) recording time per operator. The method was tested at an electronic assembly industry. The study showed that the method has to be further developed. This development would be on basis of statistical models assessing associations between measurement resources, representativeness and precision as functions of working hours, number of work stations, manning and work rotation.
