AIM:

1. To study the MATLAB software and to find the applications of the software in the industrial
engineering.

2. To solve following linear programming problem using MATLAB

SOFTWARE REQUIRED:

MATLAB software.

THEORY

MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation,


visualization, and programming. Using MATLAB, you can analyze data, develop algorithms,
and create models and applications. The language, tools, and built-in math functions enable you
to explore multiple approaches and reach a solution faster than with spreadsheets or traditional
programming languages, such as C/C++ or Java.

You can use MATLAB for a range of applications, including signal processing and
communications, image and video processing, control systems, test and measurement,
computational finance, and computational biology. More than a million engineers and scientists
in industry and academia use MATLAB, the language of technical computing.

AIM:

1. To study the MVTA software and to find the applications of the software in industrial
engineering.

2. To undertake task analysis using MVTA software.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED:

MVTA software

THEORY:

MVTA Multimedia Video Task Analysis automates time and motion studies and ergonomic
analysis of visually discerned activities using a novel graphical user interface. MVTA was
developed by Dr. Robert G. Radwin and Dr. Thomas Yen at the University of Wisconsin-
Madison in cooperation with industry and government consortium members.

The software enables users to identify events interactively with the use of break points in the
video record (identifying the start and end of an event). The video can be analyzed at any speed
an in any sequence (real time, slow/fast motion or frame-by-frame in forward/reverse direction).
MVTA produces time study reports and computes frequency of occurrence of each event as well
as postural analysis.

The system can be used by industrial engineers, ergonomists, psychologists and other
professionals for a variety of applications including:

Activity Sampling

Event Analysis

Detailed Job Analysis

Postural Analysis

Risk Factor Identification

Task Analysis

Quantification of Repetition and Duration

Time and Motion Study

Work Sampling

Micro-motion Analysis

Left-hand/Right-hand Analysis

Behavior Observation

Elemental Analysis

MVTA provides the user to easily create and manage events in the analysis, The analyst can go
to breakpoints, change step intervals, move timeline cursor, change N-frame step intervals, etc.

There are 4 types of reports available in the MVTA system:

Time study

POSTURE ANALYSIS USING RAPID UPPER LIMB ASSESSMENT (RULA) TOOL


IN CATIA

AIM:

1. To study the ergonomic module of CATIA Software

2. To undertake a posture analysis for a material handling task under laboratory condition using
RULA Tool in CATIA.

EQUIPMENTS/ TOOLS USED:

Digital / Video Camera

SOFTWARE USED:

CATIA

THEORY:

Posture Analysis

Posture is the composite of positions of all joints of the body at any given moment. People adopt
postures to deal with the workplaces and surrounding environments that they find. The goal is to
perform an action or a task and the posture is chosen to achieve that goal. A posture is made
possible by internal structural change of the musculoskeletal system. Due to many degrees of
freedom that the musculoskeletal system has a large repertoire of postures and postural
adjustments are possible. Posture is influenced by the task, workstation, working tools design,
and the anthropometric characteristics of the workers. Together with the nervous system,
muscles, bones, and ligaments all work together to exert postural control.

Good posture distributes force through our body with minimum muscular effort and so that no
one structure is over stressed. Correct posture - Position in which minimum stress is placed on
each joint. Faulty posture - Is a faulty relationship of the various parts of the body which produce

RAJIV GANDHI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KOTTAYAM 11


M. TECH INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING & MANAGEMENT 2013-15 SOFTWARE LAB

increased strain on the supporting structures and in which there is less efficient balance of the
body over its base of support. Ideal posture is that which serves as a reference point. Ideal
posture is an alignment of maximum physiological and biomechanical efficiency, which requires
a minimum of stress and strain.

Ideal/Correct posture (standing) -

Is a straight vertical alignment of body from the top of head, through bodys centre, to the
bottom of the feet.

From a back view, the spine and head are straight, not curved to the right or left; the front view
of good posture shows equal heights of shoulders, hips, and knees; the head is held straight, not
tilted or turned to one side.

From a side view, good posture can be seen as an imaginary vertical line through the ear,
shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle. In addition, the three natural curves in back can be seen.

Fig 3: RULA Colour code output from CATIA

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

1. The final score of 7 suggests that investigation and changes should be brought in
immediately.

2. The different colour shown in CATIA helps us to decide, where the necessary changes
should be made which will turn the final score into acceptable one.

3. Human cannot stay in one posture for long period because this might introduce some risk
of injury due to fatigue.

4. The colour code in CATIA helps us to easily distinguish between the postures which are
acceptable and which needs further investigation.

LINEAR PROGRAMMING PROBLEM USING TORA SOFTWARE

AIM:

1. To study the TORA software and to find the applications of the software in the industrial
engineering.

2. To solve a linear programming problem using the software.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED:

TORA software.

THEORY:

The TORA Optimization System is a Windows-based software designed for solving problems in
operations research using techniques of optimization such as simplex method, transportation
problem, queuing theory, game theory etc. The TORA Optimization System is Invented by
Vincent Park and M.Scott Corson from University of Maryland. The TORA software is written
for the IBM/PC/XT/AT and true compatible. It requires 512K RAM and MS-DOS 3.2 or higher.

TORA has a total of 8 modules- Linear equations, linear programming, transportation model,
integer programming, network models, project planning (PERT, CPM), queuing analysis, and
zero - sum games.

An important feature of the system is that it can be used to solve problems in a tutorial or
automated mode. The tutorial mode is particularly useful because it allows concentrating on the
main concepts of the algorithms while relieving us of the burden of the tedious computations that
generally characterize Operations Research algorithms. TORA is totally self-contained, in the
sense that all the instructions needed to drive the software are represented by menus, command
buttons, check boxes, and the like. It requires no user manual.

M. TECH INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING & MANAGEMENT 2013-15 SOFTWARE LAB

- The final output obtained from Vogels Approximation Method, North- West Corner Method,
and Least Cost Method (for finding initial basic feasible solution) is the same. But number of
iterations required for finding the optimal solution using above methods is 1, 4, 3 respectively.

- Here in the output we can see that there is a dummy demand column. It is because the problem
given is an unbalanced transportation problem. TORA software helps eliminate manual effort to
determine whether a given problem is balanced or not.

TORA software thus gives the optimum cost of transportation requiring less time and effort. It
also helps in eliminating the errors which occurs when calculated manually.
