The Challenge
Workload assessments are often performed through simple management best judgement and time and motion studies to simple loop counts. Each of these has inherent weaknesses that result in flawed workload determination.
An additional, often overlooked, factor that impacts workload is operator fatigue. The capacity of an operator to perform their duties whilst fatigued is diminished and effectively increases actual workload.
