Tool 1: Health & Performance Check

The tool helps you to monitor and manage

• your machine operators' health situation • their level of performance.

This is necessary to

• observe and • act upon

changes that might impede production.



Structure of tool

The tool consists of four parts:

1. An operator questionnaire

2. A contractor logbook

3. A result presentation

4. Values for Tool 2



To install the tool

1. Save a copy of tool on hard disc

2. Open Excel and tool

3. Push ‚Enable Macros‘ inwindow which opens →

4. Set ‚security level‘ to medium



To set security level in Excel

a) Open menu ‚Tools‘

b) Choose ‚Macros ‘ Security ...

c) Choose ‚Medium‘ under tag: ‚Security level‘in window which opens →

d) Push ‚OK‘



Data collection template

• Working hours• Complaints• Accidents or

near accidents• Recovery

• Sickness• Performance• Counter measures• Other

circumstances

Questions reflecting:



Managers data input sheet

• Insert date for data collection

• Adjust for current number of operators

• Enter data from questionnaires

6. When do you consider yourself fully recovered after work?

(1) After a night's rest

(2) After a week-end

(3) After a week off or more

(4) After a longer vacation

(5) Practically never






• Enter data from questionnaires into appropriate cells






• Enter data from questionnaires into appropriate cells

• Results will be calculated automatically



IMPORTANT 1 !

The analysis program will not work correctly, if you do not specify the ‘number of working hours last week’ in row 23 for each operator:

23 1 Working hours last week 42 47 36 12 55 11



IMPORTANT 2 !

The analysis program will not give the correct values for Tool 2: Cost/Benefit-Check unless you enter in row 22 for each operator whether he is mainly a harvester or mainly a forwarder operator.

22 Operating: harvester (1), forwarder (2) 1 2 2 2 1 1



Contractor’s log book

1. The number of periods must correspond to the number of periods in ‘Data input’.

2. Document ill health and lost performance in the blue fields with data from own records.




3. Record circumstances of importance in the blue field

THE PERIODS WERE CHARACTERIZED BY:

Period 1: Period 2: Period 3: Period 4: Period 5:

These records are important for estimation of costs and working out preventive measures.




HARVESTER

Period 1 Period 2 Period 3 Period 4 Period 5

Number of harvester operator sick days:

thereof with replacement: 3 2 10 0 2

thereof without replacement (machine stand still): 5 5 5 5 5

Salary for replacement harvester operator:(in % of salary for ordinary operator)

120 120 130 120 120

Performance of replacement harvester operator:(in % of performance of ordinary operator)

90 90 85 85 90

4. Enter data for harvester and forwarder operators



Collection of ideas

5. Document information from questions 10 and 11

• Best means to improve health and performance?

• Other important circumstances?



Longitudinal follow up

Check once more! that all operators has a value for

‘number of working hours last week’ in row 23 on the 'Data input' sheet.

make sure that every new period is labeled in the first column of the period on row 19 on the ‘Data input’ sheet.



Colour key to results

Green No action needed. All operators have chosen the most positive answer.

Light yellow Action might be necessary within time

Dark yellow Action must be taken soon

Orange Action must be taken immediately

Red Severe problem. Action must be taken immediately



Interpretation of results

Identify:

1. Company strengths green cells

2. Company weaknesses red cells

dark yellow cells

… to target the ergonomic investments!



Result tables

Question 3: ShouldersMar 08 Jun 08 Sep 08 Dec 08 Mar 09

Never 0 1 1 1 1

A few times per month 3 2 1 3 2

A few times per week 3 0 2 0 0

Almost every day 0 1 1 2 2

Every day 0 1 1 1 1

No. of operator questionnaires that the analysis is based on

Mar 08 Jun 08 Sep 08 Dec 08 Mar 09

No. of questionnaires 6 5 6 7 6

Discuss (for each result table):1. How is the trend? 2. What might lay behind the figures? 3. What measure might improve the situation? (Consult previous sheet) 4. What is the cost of the measure? 5. How effective might it be?



Values for Tool 2

IMPORTANT!In order to get correct values the number of data periods related to the last twelve months have to be entered in cell D8.



Decisions table

Specify after discussion for each measure

1. Costs

2. Goal

3. Indicators

4. Responsible person

5. Involved persons

6. Starting date

7. Finishing date

8. Follow up and close
