Abstract:<br />

Purpose:<br />

The present work is a study of a street stall, which offers the public newspapers,<br />

magazines and books, as well as sweets, crisps, etc, and which has a very reduced space at<br />

its disposal for keeping and arranging goods.<br />

Method:<br />

We will apply the design for maximums and minimums based on percentiles. With these<br />

facts it was possible to model a stall with the CATIA system which has an ergonomic<br />

analysis module for the intended objectives.<br />

Result:<br />

The solution reduces muscular tension provoked by inadecuate positions.<br />

Discussion & Conclusion:<br />

This implied a completely new distribution of the space inside the stall.<br />

Keywords: Sreet Stall, Ergonomics, CATIA, RULA<br />
