| Abstract | We present an application of a genetic algorithm (GA) based method to the design of hide-unloading job, an asymmetric lifting task in shoe industry of Agra, India. In India, which has the second largest shoe industry in the world, it is labor intensive and concentrated in the small and cottage industry sector with Agra being a major production hub. Due to awkward postures and high load handling in hide-unloading, workers are exposed to ergonomic hazards. The design of hide-unloading job in the present work with an aim to reduce the risk to back injury in the purview of revised NIOSH equation. We carry out our study in four shoe manufacturing firms in Agra. The study was conducted on a total of 20 workers, 5 from each firm. It is observed that workers assume different awkward postures mainly due to bulky and unstable load handling. The potency of the study is to present multiple optimal solutions to the design problem using GA while meeting safety and productivity requirements in a given workplace environment conditions. Multiple optimal solutions provide greater agility to ergonomist to implement the recommended design solutions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
