Monitoring of Ergonomics Score Impact on Production Processes

This study presents the integration of ergonomics assessment data into production monitoring in a global automotive context. A cloud-based solution was developed to merge HumanTech ergonomics data with production metrics from the Cycle Time Deviation (CTD) Shift Report system via the Palantir Foundry platform. During implementation, several challenges were addressed, particularly inconsistent station naming, incompatible data formats, and duplicate or missing records. These were resolved through a harmonization process that enabled the creation of a standardized dataset. The resulting integration allows ergonomics scores to be visualized alongside cycle punctuality, takt time, and MOST-based analysis, supporting the identification of correlations between ergonomic risk and production delays. The paper also outlines the implementation steps, highlights the benefits of real-time monitoring, and discusses the potential for scalable analytics across multiple manufacturing sites.
