EVALUATION OF ERGONOMIC RISK FACTORS IN ELECTRONICS FACTORY AND ITS IMPACT ON PRODUCTIVITY: LITERATURE STUDY
Keywords:
Ergonomic Risk Factors, Electronics Factory, Productivity, Musculoskeletal, Occupational HealthAbstract
Ergonomic risk factors in the electronics industry have become a major concern in an effort to improve worker productivity and health. This study aims to analyze the evaluation of ergonomic risk factors in electronics factories and their impact on productivity through a systematic literature review. The method used was a literature review of 10 journals published in the last five years (2020-2025). The results showed that the main ergonomic risk factors in electronics factories include unnatural work postures (78% of cases), repetitive movements (65% of cases), and excessive physical workload (52% of cases). In addition, the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders reached 73%, which contributed to a 15-30% decrease in productivity due to health complaints and occupational fatigue. The implementation of ergonomic interventions, such as workstation improvements and lean ergonomics, was shown to increase productivity by 25%, reduce musculoskeletal complaints by 55%, and decrease worker absenteeism by 38%. It can be concluded that evaluating and improving ergonomic risk factors is a strategic investment that has a significant positive impact on the productivity and well-being of workers in the electronics industry
