Background Information

• E-One is the second largest manufactures of fire
  trucks in the US. They build 7 different models,
  as well as refurbish older trucks.
• We will be working on the door assembly station
  for the ARFF Model Trucks
• Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting
• By law, all airports are required to have an
  operational ARFF on site. If the truck is in need
  of repair, the airport must close.

Current design issues

• Heavy manual lifting is required to place the
  door on and off of the workstation
• Extreme bends and reaches are required to reach
  the middle of the door when on the workstation
• Power tools used cause vibrations in the hands
• The current operation is suffering from carpal
  tunnel and complains of pain in his arms and hands

Next Steps

• We will travel as a team to observe the
  technician while he works at the workstation.
• We will be looking for potential ergonomic
  problems.
• We will also perform a time study and look for
  more effective ways to arrange the tools and
  parts near the workstation
