RESUMO
Fatigue, and many other human performance factors, impact worker wellbeing, and thus production quality and efficiency. Adopting the Industry 5.0 perspective, we propose that integrating human performance models into wider industrial system models can improve modeling accuracy and lead to superior outcomes. Integrating our Worker Fatigue Model as part of their industrial system architect model allowed Airbus, a leading aircraft manufacturer, to more accurately predict system performance as a function of the workforce makeup, which could be a combination of human workers and robots, or a combination of highly experienced and less experienced workers. Our approach demonstrates the importance and value of including human performance models in trade studies for introducing robots on the shop floor, and can be used to include various aspects of human performance in industrial system models to address specific task requirements or different levels of automation.
