Abstract
The lateral posture model in manual materials handling, which is made from x and y coordinate plane, can be used for the numerical definition of posture for working man and analysis of body movements. But the model is so complex that the computation takes a long time. A code number can be used instead of the posture model. The coding methods calssify the posture into artificial and natural taxonomy. Here is discussed the two coding methods and their application.
