title = "Modeling the ergonomics of goods-to-man order picking",
abstract = "The move towards a goods to man order picking strategy increases worker productivity by reducing travel time but increases the possibility of repetitive motion injuries. An anthropometric simulation of the goods to man order strategy was developed using Siemens Jack so the Task Analysis Toolkit could be used to study the effect of picking hundreds of items an hour. The simulation assigns order pickers of different statures (Jack and Eva) ten items of different shapes and weight to random bin locations on a shelf caddy for an hour. The preliminary analysis shows that the lower back and metabolic energy thresholds are approached with significant flexion around the neck for both Jack and Eva.",
