IMPORTANT 1 !

• The analysis program will not work correctly, if
  you do not specify the number of working hours
  last week in row 23 for each operator

23 1 Working hours last week 42 47 36 12 55 11
12
IMPORTANT 2 !

• The analysis program will not give the correct
  values for Tool 2 Cost/Benefit-Check unless you
  enter in row 22 for each operator whether he is
  mainly a harvester or mainly a forwarder operator.

Contractors log book

1. The number of periods must correspond to the
   number of periods in Data input.
2. Document ill health and lost performance in the
   blue fields with data from own records.

14
Contractors log book

• Record circumstances of importance in the blue
  field

THE PERIODS WERE CHARACTERIZED BY
è Period 1 è Period 2 è Period 3 è Period 4 è Period 5
These records are important for estimation of
costs and working out preventive measures.
15
Contractors log book

1. Enter data for harvester and forwarder operators

HARVESTER          
  Period 1 Period 2 Period 3 Period 4 Period 5
Number of harvester operator sick days          
thereof with replacement 3 2 10 0 2
thereof without replacement (machine stand still) 5 5 5 5 5
           
Salary for replacement harvester operator(in of salary for ordinary operator) 120 120 130 120 120
           
Performance of replacement harvester operator(in of performance of ordinary operator) 90 90 85 85 90

Collection of ideas

• Document information from questions 10 and 11
• Best means to improve health and performance?
• Other important circumstances?

17
Longitudinal follow up

• Check once more!
• that all operators has a value for number of
  working hours last week in row 23 on the 'Data
  input' sheet.
• make sure that every new period is labeled in the
  first column of the period on row 19 on the Data
  input sheet.

18
Colour key to results
Green No action needed. All operators have chosen the most positive answer.
Light yellow Action might be necessary within time
Dark yellow Action must be taken soon
Orange Action must be taken immediately
Red Severe problem. Action must be taken immediately
19
Interpretation of results

• Identify
• Company strengths ? green cells
• Company weaknesses ? red cells
• ? dark yellow
  cells
• to target the ergonomic investments!

• Discuss (for each result table)
• How is the trend?
• What might lay behind the figures?
• What measure might improve the situation?
  (Consult previous sheet)
• What is the cost of the measure?
• How effective might it be?

Values for Tool 2
IMPORTANT! In order to get correct values the
number of data periods related to the last twelve
months have to be entered in cell D8.
