Evaluating human-related quality risk factors associated with the design of manufacturing and logistics
CoI: Dr. Irfanullah Khan
This project explores the human-related risk factors for product and work quality in manufacturing and logistics systems, referred to as quality risk factors (QRFs). It focuses on examining risk factors associated with design stages of manufacturing systems–specifically product design, process design and workstation design. The ultimate goal is to propose a strategy for improving product and work quality in manufacturing and logistics. This goal can be achieved by first identifying QRFs associated with product design, process design and workstation design through a systematic review of relevant empirical studies. Next, identified QRFs for each design stage should be evaluated and their interrelationships analyzed using a multi-criteria decision-making approach. The findings will provide decision-makers with a valuable strategy for improving both production quality and human well-being by integrating HF into manufacturing and logistics systems.
