    The document provides details about a wrapping and packaging task performed by a worker. The worker removes 12 kg paper rolls from a conveyor every minute for 8 hours. The rolls are wrapped on a table then lifted and placed in boxes, which are then closed, secured, and lifted onto pallets. Hand distances and heights are provided for each step. The assignment is to calculate the Composite Lifting Index for this task using provided tables, comment on the results, and recommend design changes.

    Assignment 5 due 3:00 p.m., Thursday October 23, 2014


    (Please hand it to the instructor in class)

    Rolls of paper weighing 12 kg each are pulled off a moving conveyor to workstations where they are
    wrapped and placed in boxes, as shown above. Conveyor delivery allows the roll to slide to the
    wrapping area, but the roll must be manipulated as it is wrapped. After wrapping the roll is lifted from
    the table and placed in a box, which requires significant control. The box is closed, secured and lifted
    to a pallet, which does not require significant control. The worker completes this operation once per
    minute for a continuous duration of 8 hours. The worker does not need to twist during any of the
    activities. Horizontal hand distance is 50 cm when picking up the roll from the conveyor. When
    dropping the roll in the box hands are 90 cm high and horizontal distance is 35 cm. When lifting the
    box with the roll the hands are at the bottom and horizontal distance is 35 cm. When placing this box
    on the pallet the worker does not step on the pallet and horizontal distance is 35 cm.

    Calculate the Composite Lifting Index (using the multi-task worksheet on Moodle), comment
    on the results and recommend design changes.

    Note the corrections to Tables 6.9, 6.10 and 6.11 in the posting Errata to textbook.
