Projects

Placebo Effect of Alcohol on Blood pressure, Heart rate, Reaction time, Fatigue, and Eye movements

The purpose of the project was to observe the effect of alcohol placebo on blood pressure, heart rate, reaction time, fatigue, and eye movements. ECG, BP, EMG, and EOG were done on the subjects to determine the effects. Biopac software was used to record and analyze the experimental results for multiple setup to validate the accuracy of results.

Improving Storage and Inventory Problems of CVS Pharmacy by implementing Six Sigma Rules

The purpose of the project was to apply six sigma principles to improve CVS pharmacy’s daily processes in inventory management. The main objective was to fix the storage and inventory problem of the store by implementing six sigma methods such as DMAIC and 5S process. The results showed factors such as decreased variability in the process and improvement in overall customer service quality.

Evaluating Ergonomics in garment industry

The projects goal was to evaluate the ergonomics and working environment of the Cambodian textile and garment industry workers, which remains primary economic growth pillar for the country. Working conditions were scrutinized by using indirect observational method through the articles, YouTube videos, newspaper citing’s and web images of the workplace.

The continuous use of arm and wrist is exposing workers to musculoskeletal disorder. To identify the risk factors related to ergonomics, Rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) and Rapid entire body assessment (REBA) methods, as well as OSHA ergonomics framework related to sewing was used.
