In QCD (quality, cost & delivery) improvement, management engineering methods have been used on priority basis because productivity is more important than anything else. The author, et al. advocate the Ergoma Approach, which conducts analysis and improvement using both of management engineering and humanity. “Ergoma” is a word coined from Ergonomics and Management. We thought that workplaces friendly to workers activate their performance, leading to higher productivity. In this paper is described the re-design of the production line conducted at a food processing company by use of the Ergoma Approach. For reduction of workload and mass production, the present work dependent on manual labor was classified into Man-work elements and Mechanizable work elements, and then a "Man-Machine cooperation" production line enabling workload reduction by "Machine" assistance in manual labor was constructed. The results of the effect measurement made it clear that the constructed line is very effective in reduction of workload and increase of workers’ performance for realization of mass production.
