Cabin attendants exposure to vibration and shocks during landing
Effects of whole-body vibration and
multiple shocks of airplane on long-term

Adverse health effects of multiple shocks KT Situation Analysis

on spine
Timing: H
Trend : L
Impact: H
Exploring the problem (general to particular):
1.
Identify available information: There is a spine health
problem of airplane crews
2.
Learn fundamentals: No smooth touchdown of backwheels during landing raises multiple shocks

3.
Missing information: No quantitative measurements of
shocks to evaluate seat performance and to relate to health
effects
5.
Hypothesis: seat suspension affects the transmission of
shocks
10. Define the real problem:
Performance of crew seat suspension due
to multiple shocks during landing

Evaluating the Problem Definition

1.
Determine if the problem should be solved
2.
Continue to gather information
3.
Form simple hypothesis
4.
Brainstorm to generate solution alternatives
