- University of West Bohemia, 22 Univerzitní St.,326 00 Pilsen, Czech Republi
Working conditions largely affect the mental state of Operators and their physical state, which in turn affects the overall performance of operators. However, many businesses are not sufficiently informed or underestimated. The result is dissatisfied employees, poor performance and quality of work. This work is devoted to theoretical knowledge in the given area. There are presented theoretical bases of labour productivity, on the basis of which is proposed methodology of workplace comfort assessment to Operator performance. The study “The impact of workplace comfort on the performance of Operators” falls within the fields of industrial engineering and ergonomics. This problem is very topical because the ergonomic arrangement of workplaces is now solved as secondary, especially the modularity of the workplace. The introductory part describes the knowledge gained from the scientific literature concerning all effects on the performance of Operators, performance curves and process productivity. The most common optimization criterion is the total cost of the product produced, mostly in the form of human labour. Part of the thesis is also a summary of theoretical knowledge, which are linked to the objectives and partial goals of the dissertation. Everything ends with the expected procedure for meeting these goals and a list of expected benefits of the resulting stud
