Design of workplaces that include human–machine systems and manual material handling should consider both the productivity of workers and the risk of injury. In this study, a simulation-based optimization methodology for a manual material handling task design was developed. A new formulation of the optimization problem is presented, whose objective is to maximize worker productivity and at the same time not to exceed ergonomic thresholds (which represent injury-risk measures). The workplace and work process were simulated using digital human modeling software (Jack), and the best design was found using a genetic algorithm. The results show that the new formulation of the optimization problem improved the predicted productivity by 105%, compared to the formulation used in previous studies that used a multi-objective function. Meanwhile, the risk of injury did not exceed ergonomic thresholds.
