Abstract
The objective of this study is to weight analysis portable backpack system of infantry weapon systems for ergonomic design in manual materials handling tasks. For the product design, we analyzed the ergonomic guidelines and status of similar weapon systems by comparing the efficient operation performance provide for the basic data. Result of this study, the relationship between portability and mobility presented for schematic. In the short distance of the short biomechanical criterion, 1-2 hours in the middle of moving psychophysical criterion, 4 hour or more long-distance criterion applied for the physiological criterion for easy of trade-offs that need to be considered. This study suggests for 4 research items for infantry backpack system in manual materials handling tasks. Throughout the result of anthropometric populations, the 5%tile body weight for -0.91kg but 95%tile in 34.17kg considered to be margin for free, easy and efficient operation for the weight margin between portability and mobility in manual materials handling tasks.
