PM7 | General Motors Ergonomics & Manufacturing Engineering: Human Work Station Assessments and Virtual Simulation (Room Versailles 1-2)

22 Aug 19
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Tracks: Program Management

Using virtual assessments and workstation human simulation, GM ergonomists proactively identify and resolve manufacturing issues before prototype and production build events ever occur. GM has improved efficiencies and accuracy in areas such as hand location, leaning, bracing, constrained reaches, repetition correction factor and strength capability prediction. Learn how GM’s ergonomists conduct virtual analyses and recommend changes

to product and design engineers that are implemented in 3D CAD environments before the design is final.
