Popis: Manufacturing workplace design enables products with varying levels of complexity to be manufactured in multiple configurations. However, despite technological advances, the central methodology used continues to be based on applying solutions through the exploration of possibilities rather than implementing rules or algorithms to solve a specific problem. The way the workplace is designed has a profound impact on the staff and the organization’s goals, as satisfied workers tend to be more productive than less satisfied ones. This chapter presents a systematic review of workplace design considering health effects and regulations. It also provides guidelines that consider psychosocial risk factors during the design process and new trends in manufacturing workplace design from three perspectives: technology, human factors, and health and safety for the well-being of workers.
