ABSTRACT
Job rotation allows workers to vary their tasks and the time employed in each one of them, facilitating the change of the muscular groups used and the progressive incorporation of workers with musculoskeletal disorders. With the job rotation is possible to assign workers to workstations compatible with their limited capacities and to restrict the time that they are exposed to risk factors to which they are especially sensible. This paper presents the application of DPI-ASEPEYO algorithm, to the design of Job Rotation schedules to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and to integrate workers with physical, psychic or communication limitations in environs characterized by high repetitive movements as it happens, for example, in assembly lines
Keywords: Job rotation; genetic algorithm; musculoskeletal disorders, disabled workers
