The Editor for Manual Work Activities (EMA), a planning method based on a 3D digital human model, addresses the need for realistic and holistic assessment of time and ergonomics in an early phase of product, process and resource planning. Since the first introduction of EMA in 2011 practical applications have triggered several improvements driven by the requirements of various industrial customers. Experiences in different branches called for a wide focus of new developments that now allow a broader application. This paper illustrates the connection between practical requirements and technical improvements of EMA within the past years. It also demonstrates how EMA may contribute to cost-efficient and accurate planning in different phases of the product development cycle. Finally, some of the future developments are illustrated.
