Abstract

Abstract In a competitive working environment, conscious workers and stringent labour regulations have forced Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to focus on operational performance along with workers' performance and their health issues. Evidence from literature uncovered that lean implementation in the manufacturing industry worsens the workers' health and safety due to the lack of consideration of social aspects. This ignorance has forced SMEs to focus on considering social aspects along with economic and environmental aspects for improving their workers' health and safety. Therefore, this study aims to develop a tool that integrates lean and ergonomics to improve the workers' health and safety, along with operational performance. Hence, Human Factors and Ergonomic (HFE) indicators were incorporated into the VSM tool under a fuzzy environment. The Fuzzy-based Ergonomic-Value Stream Mapping (E-VSM) tool identifies the area of scope for ergonomic and managerial interventions at the workplace and evaluates the HFE indicators with lean indicators. This integrated tool helps management to improve the Workers’ health and safety and enhance operational performance synergistically.

期刊介绍： Production Planning & Control is an international journal that focuses on research papers concerning operations management across industries. It emphasizes research originating from industrial needs that can provide guidance to managers and future researchers. Papers accepted by "Production Planning & Control" should address emerging industrial needs, clearly outlining the nature of the industrial problem. Any suitable research methods may be employed, and each paper should justify the method used. Case studies illustrating international significance are encouraged. Authors are encouraged to relate their work to existing knowledge in the field, particularly regarding its implications for management practice and future research agendas.
