The objective of this paper is to describe an ergonomics contribution in maintainability. The economical designs, inputs and training helps to increase the maintainability indicators for industrial devices. This analysis can be helpful, among other cases, to compare systems, to achieve a better design regarding maintainability requirements, to improve this maintainability under specific industrial environment and to foresee maintainability problems due to eventual changes in a device operation conditions. With this purpose, this work first introduces the notion of ergonomics and human fac-tors, maintainability and the implementation of assessment of human postures, including some important postures to perform maintenance activities. A simulation approach is used to identify the critical posture of the maintenance per-sonnel and implements the defined postures with minimal loads on the personnel who use the equipment in a practical scenario. The simulation inputs are given to the designers to improve the workplace/equipment in order to high level of maintainability. Finally, the work concludes summarizing the more significant aspects and suggesting future research. (original abstract)

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest opisanie wpływu ergonomii na łatwość konserwacji. Ekonomiczne wzorce, nakłady i szkolenia pomagają zwiększyć wskaźnik konserwacji urządzeń przemysłowych. Ta analiza może być pomocna, między innymi, do porównywania systemów w celu uzyskania lepszego projektu dotyczącego wymagań związanych z konserwacją, poprawy tej konserwacji w konkretnym środowisku przemysłowym oraz przewidywania problemów związanych z konserwacją, spowodowanych ewentualnymi zmianami warunków działania urządzenia. W tym celu praca ta na początku wprowadza pojęcie ergonomii i czynników ludzkich, łatwości konserwacji i wdrażania oceny pozycji ludzi, w tym kilka ważnych pozycji, w których przeprowadza się czynności konserwacyjne. Podejście symulacyjne jest wykorzystywane do identyfikacji krytycznej pozycji ciała personelu konserwacyjnego i wdrażania tych z minimalnym obciążeniem dla personelu, który wykorzystuje sprzęt w praktycznym scenariuszu. Dane wejściowe do symulacji są przekazywane projektantom aby poprawić miejsce pracy/wyposażenie w celu zapewnienia wysokiego poziomu konserwacji. Ostatecznie, niniejsze opracowanie kończą podsumowanie bardziej znaczących aspektów i sugestie dotyczące przyszłych badań. (abstrakt oryginalny)
