ErgoMOST® is an ergonomic software package which enables you to analyze ergonomic risk in the workplace. The software assigns an Ergonomic Stress Index (ESI) to each body member at the step- or job-level. This analysis can be used to evaluate the effects of method improvements, rest periods, and/or job rotation. Recent enhancements include support for 5-S initiatives and the ability to attach external files.

ErgoMOST® ergonomic software system was developed to analyze physical risk factors associated with repetitive motion. This ergonomic software focuses on methods improvements in the workplace to minimize ergonomic stress and maximize motion efficiency. Relative ESI’s (Ergonomic Stress Indices) are assigned to ten joints — wrists, elbows, shoulders, back, neck, and knees — for lifts, pushes, or pulls.

If steps of a job are already defined in MOST® for Windows™ (Maynard’s work measurement tool) or in an ASCII file, they can be imported into ErgoMOST®, thus alleviating additional data entry. Also, entry of ergonomic data is made simple by a graphical user interface that allows the applicator to ‘click’ on a body member, and then ‘click’ on one of the displayed postures that best represent the posture of the operator/worker.

ErgoMOST® also provides a range of reports and parameters for displaying results. Users can select a step- or job-level report, body members and ergonomic as are, and text or graphical formats.
