This article presents a case study of general ergonomic and operational improvement of the on board process in factory ships. The process includes several lines with automatic and manual operations for processing caught fish as different products. It is a complex system with a great variety of operation possibilities. An exploratory simulation model of the plant and the human tasks is developed as a way to identify improvement opportunities. A combined simulation approach has been adopted for the characterization and improvement of the process comprising (i) a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) to develop the analysis of the production system and experiment with operational rules and (ii) a DHM-based study to analyse the present ergonomic conditions on the manual operations and to propose alternative workstation designs that could lead to effective and ergonomic improvement. As a result, we could characterize the process efficiency in different production scenarios, the organizational effects in the packing workstation and the ergonomic and operational assessment of the packing operations.
