Abstract

This article aims to analyze the low productivity rate in the packing station of asparagus processing companies for export. The current difference in the rate labor productivity is 18.22%, which is caused by ergonomic problems, inadequate posture and non-standardized working method. In order to confront this problem, an improvement model was developed using the ADKAR Model, Anthropometric Workstation Redesign, Poka-Yoke and a Working Method is proposed. Therefore, the contribution of this model is to give importance to the human factor and combine change management with engineering solutions. In conclusion, a model was proposed where ergonomic assessment and Work Study tools interact with change management using the ADKAR model to confront the problem of low labor productivity, as well as solve the reasons and causes that cause said problem.
