AET-a newjob-analysis method

By W.

ROHMERT

Instituts Fur Arbeitswissenschaft der Technischen Hochschule,

Darmstadt, F.R. Germany

The stress-relevant scaling of vocational activities byAET ascertains and compares

job demands which are characterized bymany different human activities. The AET

results thus form a

data

bank which issuitable for various aims of ergonomicwork

evaluation and work design. The application of the specific supplement of H-AET

in addition toAET itself allows detailed strain classification, especially in the field

of demands of activity. If, bya stress-oriented taxonomy for work carried out in the

range of vertical reach of the arms, anatomic-geometrical differentiations of

vertical reach and biomechanical postural forces are coupled to the workplaces, it is

possible to differentiate the scaledactivities in a strain-relevant bottle-neckanalysis.

The characteristics

of

the scaled items allow the immediate determination of

biomechanical risks

of

damage or the derivation ofmeasures for workplacedesign.

1. Introduction

It is the

aim

of all

ergonomic

efforts to

harmonize the

influences resulting from

the

configuration

of

work content ,

workplace, equipment,

working environment and

work organization

with

man s

physical and

mental

abilities

and

his psychosocial needs.

Such a wide field, which isclosely linked with the interdependenceof

human

stress and

strain, suggests the development of analysing

methods

in

order

to examine

the

degree

by which-in a given individual

case--the aim has

been

approximated.

  is therefore

necessary to examine the

state

ofdesign of existing

or planned working

systems in view

of

human

stress

and

strain; the

analyst s

practical

and personal

possibilities, however,

will often be exceeded, if this is

done

by physical

and work

physiological measuring.

It is therefore necessary to develop a less expensive

method

for

ergonomic

analysis

and

description of

man-at-work

systems which

can either

completely replace physio-

logical investigations or,

at

least, restrict

them

to small bottle-neck situations.

The description of

working

systems necessary to analyseand

compare

the influence

of stress, existing

human

abilities and the effect of

strain

requires a

standardized

linguistic

arrangement,

which can be employed

and understood

both by

the ergono-

mist and the experienced practician.

This

requires a

rather

pragmatically

oriented

method

of

work

analysis which is

suitable for

employment

at reasonable expense, reliability

and

in a

standardized way

and

language in a

multitude

of workplaces. It was

under

these aspects

that the

new

job-

analysis

method AET (AET

is

the abbreviation

of   rbeitswissenschaftliches Erheb-

ungsverfahren

zur

Tatigkeitsanalyse ) was developed [353, 519].

AET should

be

considered an

instrument

of analysis

combining

engineering, physiological,

behavioural-psychological elements.

2. Basic theoretical concept

AET has been developed to

judge working

systems, in which the

working

person  

essentially involved in a

production

process

or

in rendering a service.

The

theoretical

model of the working system ispart

of

the basic concept by which the completeness

of

the item measured by AET can be checked. A further component of the basic

theoretical concept is the stress-strain concept

[518].

AET can do without measuring; human activities at practical workplaces are

described by observation and, if necessary, in certain cases by interviewing the

incumbent himself or his superior. AET resolves working systems into individual

elements describing and scaling their interdependences. Work analysis proceeds from a

model

of

the

job

and registers all relevant aspects

of

the work object, the equipment,

the working environment, the task as well as the job demands. Thus, stress and the

elements by which it is

determined-tasks,

demands, environmental conditions,

required

skills-are

analysed. The observation interview taken at the workplace leads

to quantifying phases

of

stress according to their duration, height, sequence and

temporal distribution within the work shift. The resulting description

of

stress can he

associated with strains, as the concept

of

AET is based upon categories of strain.

3. Choice of items

AET contains 216 items along which work analysis isdone according to figure 1.In

part A the working system is analysed with 143items. They describe the work objects,

the work tools, the equipment and the physical, organizational, social and economic

conditions of work. Figure 2 contains the respective classification

of

equipment and

shows-as

an

example-how

this ergonomic analysis considers engineering aspects.

Part B

of

the task analysis contains 31 items which are classifiedalong the different

kinds of work objects.

The third part, C,

of

the analysis of demands is based on the human activity model

by Welford

[645]

which follows the idea of an engineering physiological model and

considers theelements of perception, decision and response/activity. That part

of

AET

contains 42 items. Figure 3 gives an example

of

the classification

of

these items as

related to stress analysis in the work process.

Besides the structure of its contents the formal s tructure of AET may be

characterized as follows: each of the.216 items of

AET

consists of the description of the

problem, which characterizes the circumstances in catchwords, an explanation and the

code bywhich this item should be scaled. Figure4 demonstrates the formal structure of

The

explanation of the circumstances given by the item text subsequent to the

description

of

the

problem

should, by catchwords, define the respective item with

respect to scope, extent and scaling. Those items which could possibly be difficult for a

practitioner

who

is

not

sufficiently trained in ergonomics to answer

contain

additional

classification aids, such as text examples or task

and

activity scales, respectively. The

item is finally scaled by the item code, which, in the case of static work, is the code of

duration (D).

Besides the choice

of

the respective item and the formulation of the item text,

special attention must be paid to the

adequate and

clear scaling of items which exert

stress on the working person

at

his workplace. For this purpose,

AET

uses fivedifferent

codes:

(I ) One code defines the stressors:

work

element does/does

no t

apply, so-called

alternative code  A .

 2

Two codes define the height

of

stress: special code which always refers to the

item it is applied to, so-called special code (S);code

of

importance/significance

of the item for the job

done

(I).

(3) Two

codes define the

duration

of stress:

duration

 0 as well as item frequency

in the course

of

a work shift (F).

5.

Practical

AET application

The

analyst

in charge

of

the

ergonomic

analysis visits the workplace in question. He

observes

the

activity and all conditions related to work and workplace. Items that

cannot be observed will be collected in an interview with the incumbent or his superior.

Study

of the handbook and the booklet

of

items

[517,519)

is generally sufficient to

carry out

ergonomic

work analysis. Less-experienced analysts can gain the necessary

knowledge and training by participating in special 3

day

seminars. Generally, we may

expect an analyst to analyse an entire man-at-work system within 2 hours. AET has

meanwhile been applied so extensivelyand frequently that a first collection of practical

examples

[354]

has been published. The book reports on the experience and results

gained by

23

practicians

and

scientists. Meanwhile,

AET

has been translated

into

Finnish

and

English.

6. . Evaluation of AET data

The

analyst

scores his scalings for each AET item in a computer processable

marking document. These marking documents may be bought from Huber Verlag,

who (according to a

corresponding

price list) will also

carry ou t

further evaluation of

the marking documents as well as a comple te evaluat ion

of

data.

This evaluation

service, which is described in the

handbook [519

p. 197], offers a series of statistical

evaluation processes for AET users. They cover analysis

of

frequency of AET item

sealings, profile analysis with individual profiles, branch profiles and sum profiles, as

well as cluster analyses. Upon request, factor analyses will also be carried

out. The

published collection

of

practical examplesoffers the possibility

of

profitably discussing

and applying these evaluation results.

7. AET supplements

Meanwhile, it has

proved

reasonable and, at the same time, economical to further

detail ergonomic job analysis by AET. Specific aims of application can be reached

without ergonomic measuring. The supplement activity

(H-AET)

is one further

development in the scope

of

demands (figure 5). This supplement was developed to

sliding on the ignition cable , the ca rburetto r impedes access ibility to the spa r k plugs,

which requi res a seizing grip using three fingers. Further impedance results from the

representation shows the corresponding high characteristics of stress for static and

postural work, dynamic work and temporal work organization. A high level of noise

prevails permanently.

If the results of H-AET are represented by cluster analysis, there is a resemblance

between this activity and various other assembling activities carried out at the same

line,which are all characterized by the combination of unilateral dynamic musclework

and high static components as well as a stooping posture of the trunk. This

superimposition of stresses must be classified as unfavourable.

Application of the fineanalysis, which is based upon the stress-oriented taxonomy

for work done in the vertical grip space of the arms, finally shows what durations and

forces occur in dynamic hand movements and their temporal distribution related to

trunk and head movements as well as the range

of horizontal grip

and

the working

height.

If the job demands of this workplace were simply analysed without respect to the

working person, the results would

Durch eine beanspruchungsrelevante Skalierung berufiicher Arbeitstiitigkeiten mit Hilfe des

Arbeitswissenschaftlichen Erhebungsverfahrens zur Tatigkeitsanalyse konnen Anforderungen

ennittelt und verglichen werden, die durch die unterschiedlichsten menschlichen Tiitigkeiten

bedingt sind. Somit steht aus AET-Ergebnissen ein Datensatz zur Verfiigung, welcher fur die

unterschiedlichsten Ziele einer ergonomischen Arbeitsbeurteilung und Arbeitsgestaltung

taugt. Wird zur Erfassung und Beurteilung von Korperstellungen und Korperbewegungen mit

dem H-AET ein spezifisches Supplement zum AET selbst angewendet, so lassen sich zusiitzlich
