his study proposes a methodological review and an
illustrative example for the physical stress management
in manufacturing system. In particular, it investigates the
complexity of human factors, as related with ergonomics and
fatigue, and their interaction with resources and operational
rules in flow assembly line. The paper implements system
dynamics and agents based approach to overcome discrete
events ineffectiveness. On managerial pursuit, correlation
between relevant variables and states in system are
evaluated as per optimal production requirements. Criticality
on operating rules as related to the evaluation of physical
stress in manufacturing tasks are reported. ANOVA tests
were discussed. Conclusions in terms of optimal assignment
of operators to workstation and moving choice between
workstation are reported as related with system and human
effects.
