TI  - Multiple criteria decision-making for the resolution of conflicting ergonomic 
      knowledge in manual materials handling.
PG  - 1351-6
AB  - The ergonomic design of manual materials handling tasks typically utilizes one or 
      more of three approaches; biomechanical, physiological, and psychophysical. 
      Unfortunately, a comprehensive design is rarely obtained because of the 
      difficulty of resolving the conflicting guidelines and criteria for each of the 
      three approaches. This paper describes a methodology utilizing the multiple 
      criteria decision-making (MCDM) process for resolving this conflict. This 
      approach calculates the ratio of the contribution from each type of stress to an 
      overall stress level as determined by the unacceptability of this stress to the 
      user. An example is presented to demonstrate this technique.
