Abstract

The present research’s main purpose is to analyze and develop a table of energy expenditure (EE), for the eight principal operational jobs of the automotive harnesses industry. These are: cable cutting, pressing, manual assembly, assembly on board, taping operation, electrical testing, quality inspection and material handling. Sample size consisted of 65 workers performing similar activities from three industries. Energy expenditure in the jobs studied varies from 2.21 kcal/min ±0.965 standard deviation to 4.24 kcal/min ±1.058 standard deviation. For each job their kcal/min were calculated and a model was constructed that could be used to determinate the energy consumption for those works.
