You are evaluating operation ABC at a local manufacturing facility. At the workstation, the standing operator must pick up one part from an incoming conveyor and place in the work bench for processing. Once work on part is complete, the operator places the part in the outgoing conveyor and proceeds to repeat the process with a new part. The workstation layout is described below:The incoming conveyor is 25 in from the ground. In order to reach an incoming part, the operator must twist 35\deg to the left. The part has fair coupling, and the reach distance is 10 in. The part weighs 25lb.The outgoing conveyor is 15 in from the ground. To place part on conveyor, the operator must twist 45\deg to the right. The processed part has better coupling, now considered good, and reach distance remains the same. The part now weighs 30 lb.The operator repeats this cycle 2 times per minute for an 8 h work shift.(5 pts) Calculate the RWL for both MMH activities(5 pts) Does this job meet NIOSH LI requirements?(5 pts) Propose one improvement for this job.
