Sažetak
Of key importance for workplace design in garment industry in the space over and under the working surface of the sewing machine, that in which the worker’s limbs, machines, workpieces and auxiliary devices are situated. In making the decision on spatial distribution of the above elements, special attention should be paid to the space that can be reached most easily, so called area or zone of normal reach. It is absolutely necessary, in designing workplaces in garment industry, to make provisions that all the cyclic technological procedures should be performed in them. Optimal position of the worker, machine and workpiece at workplace, position of auxiliary devices and apparatuses, as well as of phase transport elements can be defined by drawing the zones of normal and maximum reach onto the groundplan, sideview and frontal representation of the workplace. A special type of presentation of movement zones, defined in relation to workplace dimensions and zones of minimum and maximum reach, is presented here. It has been constructed on the basis of movement trajectories of a workwr sitting by a sewing machine. Three central components of the workplace groundplan, groundplan of minimum and maximum reach and trajectories of the movements are presented in the same drawing in an appropriate ratio for workplaces with transport stand, employing ELITE method. This kind of presentation enables an excellent overview of the mutual dependence of the elements in the worker’s zone of activity, zone of normal and maximum reaches and the movements performed in them. Sideview and frontal presentation are given in a similar way. The best shapes of normal and maximum reaches are defined employing the ELITE method in groundplan, sideview and frontal planes. Experience of a number of authors has been consulted, and the authors have given a considerable contribution to constructing the zones described in frontal presentation of workplaces.
