title = "Elimination of non-value-adding operations and its effect on exposure variation at an order-picking workplace",
abstract = "The elimination of non-value-adding operations is a common measure to increase efficiency. However, this can lead to monotonous working procedures and one-sided workload. The aim of the present paper was to examine if, for the example of an order-picking workplace, the elimination of non-value-adding operations leads to a more one-sided workload. For the study a Predetermined Time System (MTM) was combined with a working posture analysis (OWAS). It was shown that non-value-adding operations can provide an opportunity for exposure variation. This aspect should therefore be considered in the ergonomic risk assessment.",
