Job rotation as a method for disabled workers integration

Abstract

Job rotation allows workers to

vary their tasks and the time

employed in each one of them,

facilitating the change of the

muscular groups used and the

progressive incorporation of

workers with musculoskeletal

disorders. With the job rotation

is possible to assign workers to

workstations compatible with

their limited capacities and to

restrict the time that they are

exposed to risk factors to which

they are especially sensible. This

paper presents the application of

DPI-ASEPEYO algorithm, to the

design of Job Rotation schedules

to prevent musculoskeletal

disorders and to integrate

workers with physical, psychic

or communication limitations

in environs characterized by

high repetitive movements as

it happens, for example, in

assembly lines.
