This pilot study aimed to compare the predicted recovery time of workers of a self-paced, standardized, asynchronous indexing assembly line with the observed recovery time. To achieve this goal, a field observation and event-based motion study of 7 workstations in an automotive assembly line was conducted. Results show that, on average, there was no significant difference between the predicted recovery time and the observed recovery time (p = 0.839). However, results for most workstations (6 out of 7) analyzed individually demonstrated a significant difference (p < 0.05). |
