Greetings,

I am a Masters' student seeking information to complete my final masters' thesis in Ergonomics applications in the Mould Industry, but i can't seem to find information on which methods to choose to study non-repetitive work.

Unfortunately all methods i stumble upon, such as OWAS, REBA and so on, seem to focus on tasks alone, not the general work-day routine. It may be my way of seeing things but an overall study of the daily routine in a Industrial ambient, should sometimes be used instead of the regular task-to-task methods.

Among my time seeking new methods, i found this particular one in different articles (PATH), wich was said to be able to perform analysis in an environment of little to no repetition. This time it was the method schematics that i did not found.

I can´t seem to find out how this method works. I tried to follow the references back to a common lead but to no use. I would gladly accept your help in getting any leads to more easily find out how to apply such method.

If you believe that PATH method is not applicable to such analysis, i would be gratefull to know your opinion on wich methods i should probably focus on. If by some chance you would like to direct me in any path you believe to be usefull, i'm always open to listen and discuss it. Most gratefull for your time.

Best Regards.
