Abstract
This paper deals with a work support system to support novice workers in production, maintenance and disassembling work. We have developed a new support system that checks operation executed by workers with interaction between a worker and the support system. We call it work monitoring. In this paper, a method to adapt work instructions to the worker by using worker model is shown. Work monitoring is used not only for work support but also for learning support. A prototype system is developed to explain how to built and use the worker model. The system detects work pieces and work time by RFID, and builds worker model by counting up the executed tasks. Then, the system chooses an instruction level according to the worker model. The prototype system shows the ability of the system to realize work and learning support at a time.
