Question: In the packing department, a worker stands sideways between the end of a conveyor and pallet. The surface of the conveyor is 7 5 cm

In the packing department, a worker stands sideways between the end of a conveyor and pallet. The surface of the conveyor is 75 cm from the floor and the top of the pallet is 20 cm from the floor. As a box moves to the end of the conveyor the worker twists 45 to pick up the box, then twists 180 in the opposite direction and sets the box down on the pallet. Each box is 24 cm on aside and weighs 15 kg. Assume he moves 3 boxes per minute for an 8-hour shift. Using the NIOSH lifting equation, calculate RWL and LI. Redesign the task to improve it. What is now the RWL and LI?
