Abstract
Ergonomics plays a vital role in productivity as it is directly concerned with the fatigue of the workers. Creel in textiles is a structure on which bobbins or reels are mounted. The number of bobbins is ranging from 400 to 1200. These are to be loaded manually. For this, a person has to sit & stand many times. Due to this, fatigue occurs. Absenteeism of workers also increases due to this fatigue. In this research work, modifications in the creel are suggested. The creel is now split into two parts. Upper part remaining fixed & lower part kept movable/ rotatable. Because of this arrangement, lower part can be taken on upper side & all the bobbins can be loaded in standing posture only. Hence fatigue is reduced a lot.
