Implicações da organização da produção e do trabalho na atividade dos montadores de montagem estrutural
Abstract
The Ergonomic Analysis of Work (AET), based on the Analysis of the Activity,
was used to understand (a) what is exactly an assembler of structural assembly
and (b) how those professionals articulate regulation mechanisms in order to
guarantee their health as well as productivity. The first inquiry is answered by the
Integrator Model of the Work Activity, evidencing the craft character of the work
of the assemblers of structural assembly. The second inquiry, searched through the
Regulation Model, shows that the assemblers add to the activity through
operative means the determinant resultant from the quality patterns and the
product reliability, of the production temporary goals, of the available resources
and its internal state, with prominence to the anticipation and postponement
mechanisms. The complexity revealed by the analysis and the comparison of the
perspective of the activity with other current rationalities produces new
understandings concerning the activity of the assembler of structural assembly.
The tensions lie on the activity levels, of the mechanism of coordination and of
the way as the results of the production are valued enabling this way that
organizational procedures and technical mechanism are created to contribute to
reduce the work load and to increase operational switching and the assembler
posture at his work spot.
