Job Rotation 7
Job Rotation 7 : The process of periodically moving employees between different jobs or tasks to minimize monotonous activities and overexertion of particular muscles or tendons. The jobs within the rotation should use differing muscle-tendon groups allowing for rest and recuperation. Tasks should be categorized based on parameters such as high/low repetition, high/low force exertion, maintaining awkward postures for prolonged periods, and the areas of the body affected. The jobs within the rotation should use differing muscle-tendon groups or alternate between extremes of parameters such as high or low force. This will provide the opportunity for "working" rest and recuperation. In small shops where a few employees perform multiple tasks the opportunity to rotate may not exist, but in these shops the variety of tasks that are performed during the shift will provide a built in rotation scheme. Workers in these shops should look for chances to move between tasks where parameters such as force can be altered between high and low. In larger shops, where there is enough work for dedicated stations, a formalized rotation scheme should be developed which moves people between stations
