PROBLEM ON HAND 2.1 INTRODUCTIONOn an average, each vendor does work for 5 to 6 hours in a day. To get the actual idea about the workstation 20 vendors has been visited space for work over the cart were observed by measuring the working area, position of the vendor in the working area, position of containers over the cart, availability of the raw materials for the preparation for food, technique adopted for serving food. Following figure shows, vendors postures and workstation arrangement during complete business through different working spaces.

2.2. PROBLEM DEFINATION The Problem is defined after a precise observation regarding workstation, vendors activities during a complete a business. Following are some observation 2.2.1 Workstation observationWorking space is not hygienic considering vendors comfort.Generally two and three containers carrying water, food storage box, stove, serving containers, money collecting box is being observed in the workstation.After serving the food generally it is being found that customers keep the serving intense randomly on the either side of the cart.There is no any proper method to keep the things in the desirable place to do work with less effort.Work is always done without considering the body fatigues, body parts range, arrangement of workstation and comfort etc.2.2.2Observation done on vendorsForward bending of trunk and neck is largeThe Vendor does the work in a static position for long duration.Rotation of trunk on both sides of the body is occurring may times during work.Vendors do not have the knowledge about proper workstation.Vendors dont consider about the items distances from the body range.Vendors do not consider the effort level, body fatigue during working.Vendors are always trying to adjust with given facilities, without considering that much.No one is conscious about the work layout , conditions, proper facilities to do work with less effort.1.3 METHODOLOGICAL STEPS1. Review of literature.2. Design of questionnaire.3. Survey to identify various musculoskeletal problems of vendors.4. Analysis of working posture with help of ergonomic software.5. Existing design.6. Proposed ergonomic design.7. Design details.

1.4 CONCLUSIONAs per the problem which is being found through an observation from both workstation & vendors activities. We are being trying to resolved this problem through ergonomics aspect.
