摘要

Modern businesses regularly invest in research, labour, and studies to increase productivity while keeping workers as the main industrial resource. With this in mind, managers of industrial ergonomics are continuously concentrating on refining the process of choosing the right tools for designing a tailored workstation. Through a literature revision of the geometrical movements and the forces and parameters involved during the kinetics, this work focuses on the interaction between the hand performing the movement and the equipment or environment to develop a method to explain the necessary steps for tool selection for industrial activities. This work also defines the way for improving the selection method for the primary conditions for correct hand tool selection. At the end of this research, the managers have a multi-analysed and organized guide to ensure the choice of the best tool, reducing the necessary force during the use of hand tools.
