Need of Agriculture Hand Tool Design Using Quality and Ergonomics Principles

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering ((LNME))

Abstract

Ergonomics contributes as a whole to formulate strategies and support the objectives of different functions for field work. To develop hand tools for farmers, needs and requirements of farmers must be brought to attention. By engaging the QFD (Quality Function Deployment) technique, the requirements are methodically checked with the product features, which can benefit to advance the quality of implements. Microscopic literature found in agriculture that is using QFD for designing the hand tools. In this study, the practice of QFD for developing the hand tools in the agriculture and various areas other than agriculture by using concepts of ergonomics principles were investigated. The findings of these works of literature will use for preparing a framework or strategy for designing the hand tools used by farmers in the agricultural sector of India.
