Implementing Job Rotation as a manufacturing method is beneficial to production efficiency, reduction oflabor cost, operator satisfaction, and Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) reduction. In this thesis, the steps of simulating the change from a single station operator work center to a job rotational work center in an automotive components production facility are investigated, analyzed and performed. The objective is to show how the use of rotational manufacturing positively impacts the working environment by operators sharing the workload, but also that production is not negatively impacted and can thrive when implemented correctly. The production facility provided a real-world application of the change of manufacturing method and allowed for research and data collection of both non-rotational and rotational work centers producing similar components. The facility also provided historical information of medically documented WMSDs inside the facility and allowed for determination of which manufacturing method was related to the WMSDs. Through analysis of the operations by observations, research, and previously documented time studies the case was developed to present the benefits along with the drawbacks of converting a non-rotational work center to a rotational work center. The detailed savings of the manufacturing method change are highlighted throughout the document. The time between documented WMSDs with workforces utilizing job rotation occur at a rate of 84.00 shifts of operation. The non rotation work
