2. Comments and remarks on diploma thesis:
Student has described options and trends in ergonomics in the second part. Principles of ergonomics and measured values are well described. In third part was student researching possible materials for adjusting wrench. The fourth part named as ‘EXISITING SITUATION’ described current situation in SKODA Auto plant. This part as well as the last part are not detailed enough. On assembly line in hall M13 are also SK38 PHEV cars, which are also important for rear axle adjustment. I could not find the details about adjustment. I did not find detail why is important to make such a adjustments.
Final part the solution does not meet all the requirements asked. Suggested tool has no ergonomics handle although whole second part is about ergonomics. The higher end of tool should be able to tighten the bolt. I see no ratchet and no nut.
