In India, the manual brick making process is physical demanding jobs where millions of workers earn their livelihood. The study attempts to improve the organization of the work in brick manufacturing units and makes operations for the betterment and enhances its productivity. Observation studies and posture analysis were performed among them by the OWAS method. A detailed plan and time study were done, and accordingly, modifications of the processes were also carried out. The body mass index (BMI) of both groups of brickfield workers was 18.58 (±2.53) (brick molders) and 19.24 (±2.72) (brick carriers) respectively, suggesting that the workers had a normal range of BMI. Working postures of brickfield workers are of high risk as indicated by the OWAS system. In this study, an attempt was made to organize the manual brick making operation for enhancing productivity. The existing process of Brick making involved some unnecessary steps, which hamper the rate of work and consequently productivity, is also affected. This study eliminates the real steps and enhances 32% productivity in time and also recommends the ergonomic intervention to reduce biomechanical stress among brickfield workers.

在印度，手动制砖过程是对体力劳动的苛刻工作，数百万工人在此谋生。该研究试图改善砖块制造单位的工作组织，并进行改善操作并提高其生产率。其中，通过OWAS方法进行了观察研究和姿势分析。进行了详细的计划和时间研究，因此，还对流程进行了修改。两组砖厂工人的身体质量指数（BMI）分别为18.58（±2.53）（砖塑工）和19.24（±2.72）（砖石搬运工），表明工人的BMI处于正常范围。OWAS系统显示，砖厂工人的工作姿势具有很高的风险。在这个研究中，试图组织手动制砖操作以提高生产率。现有的制砖工艺涉及一些不必要的步骤，这些步骤会影响工作速度并因此影响生产率。这项研究消除了实际步骤，并及时提高了32％的生产率，还建议进行人机工程学干预，以减少砖厂工人的生物力学压力。
