Abstract

In this paper, we investigated the relationship between the variables of the industrial accident factors and the manufacturing performances such as production quantity, quality, cost, and delivery. For this investigation, we collected the real data from 30 small/medium-sized manufacturing industries by performing a questionnaire survey and a on-site inter-view with the workers. Thirty industries were made up of 10 from each of the following three industries: metal processing, machinery manufacturing, and chemical products manufacturing. The data analysis was made using SPSS PC+. Based on the result of the analysis, we came to the tentative conclusion that only two variables such as work skill and load affected all four manufacturing performances and the rest of them two or three performances.
