abstract="This paper highlights the methodology that was applied systematically to incorporate ergonomics principles and data to design a manufacturing work system. The manufacturing task comprised of drilling four holes on a prepared steel plate. The components of the manufacturing work system included: manufacturing task, power-feed drill press, jig, fixture and other equipment, workplace layout, operator training and (hard) production standard and feedback. The ergonomically designed manufacturing work system proved to be effective and efficient in terms of manufacturing processing time, safety, training time, and worker productivity, satisfaction, and job attitudes.<p />",
