Introduction
The human being, has been considering since a long while as the most important source of an organization. This race, had to experience different historical situations to be finally considered. For example, at the begining of the industrial revolution the human being was mistreated and their work condtions were neglected, but over the years and thanks to theconstantly changing paradigms, it began the new era based on men. This is how is born the concept of ergonomics and optimization of working conditions.
Acording to that, this research work aims at applying the concepts learned in the course of work design, focused on labour at a workstation in a textile company. We will discuss, among other aspects of its design and workstation ergonomics, such as thetechnical study of methods. Will apply concepts related to anthropometry, biomechanics, physiology, noise, and lighting; culminating this chapter with a redesign of the station and proposed quality improvement work .

We hope that the reader will please and serve as help and guidance for future work relating to this topic.

1.4 Description of the production process of the product under study
The process begins with the laying of the foundation fabric on the working table, it verifies that it is fully extended (no wrinkles), because otherwise the error might be reflected in a poorly cut. Oncefinished, proceed to the silhouettes drawn that make the product onto the base fabric using chalk, this operation is performed by an operator, to complete the process that rigorously inspects the parts of the fabric. It is noteworthy that the silhouettes are standardized, which have previously been approved by the design area. Then comes the cutting process in which an operator manually drives thesemi-industrial cutter. In this operation there exists ullage (fabric scraps). In parallel, the same operations performed above the lace fabric, with the difference that this makes up only 2 pieces (2 front) of the total product. The pieces are then passed to the sewing area, formed by four sewing threads. Performing individual finishing the eight cutted pieces which form the main parts of the product...
