Jewelry production is one of the largest employment sectors in the global economy. This case study focuses on the design of a jewelry-polishing workstation with the objectives of mitigating repetitive-motion injuries, improving worker productivity and efficiency, increasing polisher career longevity, and reducing the training time required for new polishers to reach the professional criterion level of production performance. The result is a new polishing workstation that meets the ergonomics and production requirements of jewelry polishers while improving their quality of life and extending the duration of their careers. The polishing station is based on the application of detailed ergonomic and user-centric methodologies.
