The optimization of environmental factors at manual assembly worstation by using taguchi method
The objective of this study was to determine the dominance effects of environmental factors such as Illuminance, humidity and WBGT on the operators’ productivity at Malaysian automotive industry. A case study was carried out at an automotive components assembly factory. The environmental factors exa...
