This study is based on the research carried out by the authors called “A Model Aimed at Reducing Absenteeism by Redesigning Workspaces at School Supply Companies in the Plastics Industry“ (Chanca et al., 2022) which details that: One of the main factors of work absenteeism in manufacturing companies are musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) generated mostly because companies do not give due importance to ergonomics in the workplace and do not transmit an ergonomic culture approach to their collaborators. The present study proposes to apply ergonomics to a company that produces school supplies, including the typewriter, under an ergonomic design approach that aims to minimize MSDs in workers by attacking different points of furniture design and process methods. The design proposes height-adjustable furniture for standing work, with a U-shaped production line, taking advantage of corners and inclination angles of the tables, as well as new methods of handling and transporting materials to reduce the exposure of collaborators to TME. The Adjustability Design is taken into consideration, which uses the 95th percentile for men and 5 women to create jobs that adapt to 90% of the population. The application of the model through the Delmia V5 digital human simulation software and ergonomic evaluation tools such as RULA, OCRA Checklist and NIOSH aim to reduce the rate of exposure to MSD by 52.19%, increase worker productivity by 32% and reduce the rate of of work absenteeism in 44.68%.
