Also, if planning errors and improvement potentials are identified before the start of production, the costs of eliminating errors can be reduced significantly. Cardboard engineering is a lean method for designing workstations that integrates the expert knowledge of industrial engineers and the implicit knowledge of production workers. However, today established methods for analyzing ergonomics and productivity cannot be applied in cardboard engineering workshops because of a lack of data. This affects the design as many opportunities for improvement are not being identified and implemented. This contribution presents a concept to use these already established methods in cardboard engineering workshops by capturing the required data with a motion capture system and evaluating them using a digital assistance system. This makes it possible to increase the quality of assembly planning, improve documentation effort and quality and start the production ramp-up with ergonomically and optimised processes.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/assemblymotion capture systemdigital assistance systemTechnology::620: EngineeringConference Paperhttps://doi.org/10.15480/882.1412010.1016/j.procir.2024.10.10310.15480/882.14120Conference Paper
