Ergonomics study of tea-leaf plucking operations: Criteria for selection and categorisation.
This paper describes a new method for the categorisation of female tea-leaf pluckers on the basis of quantity and quality of production, skill and efficiency. Subjects participating in a study on the ergonomics of tea-leaf plucking operations were so categorised, and the results have been compared with the existing groupings followed by the Tea-estate authorities. Such a method could facilitate predictive selection of pluckers, selection for training, and formation of groups in future studies.
