Abstract
This paper discusses a strategy to integrate ergonomics in aircraft maintenance industry. The program is a systemic and integrated project that involves: training for the workers; ergonomics analysis and intervention and research. The objective is to develop basic competences in ergonomics among team leaders, improve the working conditions and increase the production efficiency and effectiveness. In this particular industry, poor working conditions can influence the workers performance and lead to Human errors that can be responsible for aircraft problems later. After a two-year intervention program, the main results showed: a high level of motivation among the workers; the involvement of the workers in the development of solutions to improve the working conditions; and the involvement of the company and the university in long-term research projects. A discussion about the opportunities and difficulties in the collaboration between University and industries is also presented.
