Abstract

CARO, Martha; QUINTANA, Leonardo; CASTILLO M, Juan A  and  ZEA, Christian. Cognitive Model of a Semi-Mechanized Picking Operation. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.spe, pp.39-51. ISSN 1692-7273.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/revsalud/a.6841..

Introduction:

The current paper develops a pioneering approach to the human factors of picking operations, which are addressed from a cognitive perspective.

Materials and methods:

The model thus contributed is established through a qualitative methodology which, based on several theories, is articulated and applied to the real situation of a dry foods company's semi mechanized picking operation.

Results:

The results combine the cognitive architecture of the operation and its relations with logistic factors, in order to decrease human error and, therefore, increase service level.

Conclusion:

The current model provides elements for quantitative modeling, which could include this type of factors in order to optimize the picking operation of a supply chain.

Keywords : cognitive systems; human factors; human error; ergonomics; picking operation; qualitative analysis.
