Ergonomía Ocupacional. Investigaciones y Aplicaciones. Vol 3 2010 y una tendencia cada vez mayor para incrementar las inversiones en tecnología de robots y prototipado rápido. Además, el genero masculino es predominante en el personal operativo y administrativo relacionado con TMA y el personal operativo promedia una antigüedad en un rango de 4-7 años. Palabras clave: Ergonomia de Compativilidad de Atributos, Tecnología de Manufactura Avanzada, Toma de Decisiones, Encuesta de compatibilidad ergonómico para TMA Abstract: This paper presents a descriptive study about the integration of Ergonomic Compatibility Attributes (ECA) on the selection of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) among 30 Decision Makers (DM) from enterprises of the metal-mechanical sector located in the borderland of Juarez City, Mexico. It is meant to increase knowledge about the consideration and importance of ergonomic attributes on the acquisition of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT). Also, some characteristics of the personnel involved in its operation, management and the decision making processes were investigated. Additionally, common procedures for evaluation and selection of AMT were identified; a classification of the equipment used in these companies is provided according to the manufacturing purpose. The methodology exposes the ECA in a multi-attribute model and describes the Ergonomic Compatibility Survey (ECS) applied for gather information about the characteristics of the AMT selection processes used in these companies. The results show that most of the companies do perform some kind of diagnosis for AMT selection, but ergonomic attributes are often omitted or neglected among them. However, DM recognize that ergonomic attributes consideration in AMT selection may provide a strategic advantage in the way it would facilitate and promote safer operative conditions in these workplaces, and a more successful implementation of this technology as well. Also, results explain that CNC technology is almost as frequent to find in these companies as traditional technology and a growing trend to increment the investments in rapid prototyping technology and robots can be observed. Additionally, male gender is predominant in the operative and management personnel related with AMT and operative personnel average seniority is in a range of 4-7years.

Ergonomía Ocupacional. Investigaciones y Aplicaciones. Vol 3 2010 Keywords: Ergonomic Compatibility Attributes, Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Decision Making Processes, Ergonomic Compatibility Survey for AMT. 1. INTRODUCTION This section presents the problem description, the objectives of this investigation and finally the justification and the scope. 1.1 Problem Description According to the Metal-Mechanic Industry Directory 2008 (Directorio de la Industria Metal- Mecánica, DIMM, by its initials in Spanish) in Juarez City, there are approximately 200 companies in the field of Metal-Mechanic Industry, which represents an important source of jobs for the city. Thus, it is believed that there is substantial amount of workers engaged in the use of AMT. However, studies about the characteristics of the personnel and employees related with the operation and management of AMT and the integration of safety and ergonomic attributes in the decision making processes are scarce locally. It is well known that managers and DM face the problem of selection of many AMT alternatives; and there are multiple attributes involved in making a good decision, so it is difficult to consider all in their totality. In this way, this research pretends to explore the integration of ECA on the selection of AMT among 30 DM in local industries and to promote the consciousness about the benefits of ergonomics’ implementation. 1.1.1 Objectives The objectives that arise in this work are divided into three specific and one general goal, which are explained below: 1.1.1.1 General Objective Increase knowledge about the consideration of ergonomic attributes on the acquisition of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) by means of a descriptive study and the application of the ECS to 30 DM in local companies.
