Outline of Final Research Achievements

This paper presents three methods which can contribute to the promotion of employment of aging workers in the manufacturing industry. We first reexamined our past methods related to the promotion of employment of aging workers in a practical viewpoint and resystematized them to comprehensively complement their insufficiencies. The resystematization led to the development of the three methods that this paper introduces. The subject of one method is job site education and the method is directed to the use of image processing for providing workers with skill training. The other two methods are designed to establish a work schedule for each older worker in view of both the reduction in workload and enhancement of productivity. One of the methods relates to a work posture design fulfilling the requirements of the OWAS and the other method relates to the use of virtual reality technique for estimating sorting task aptitude.
