Ergonomic design of classroom furniture for university students of BangladeshJournal of Industrial and Production Engineering, 31
In university hall, different types of bed are used for providing sleeping environment to the students. Although there are wide variations in the design of students’ bed in Bangladeshi university hall, none of them are designed properly considering the anthropometric data. In this study, four anthropometric measurements related to normal students’ bed dimensions were measured from 300 students from a public university hall in Bangladesh. The feedbacks regarding different health problems and their reasons were collected from considering practical situations of the students and gathering experts’ opinions. Chi-square test showed that back pain, blood circulation problem, fatigue, comfort, and sleeping problem are related to students’ anthropometric measurements. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis identified students’ bed length as the most responsible attribute for ergonomic problems of the students. Finally, the linear regression and correlation analysis suggested the bed dimensions based on stature of the students. This study can be a helpful guideline for industrial engineers and manufacturers in designing more comfortable students’ bed.
