%X A work station is a place occupied by a worker when performing a job. The place may be one occupied all the time or may be one of several places where work is design. An example of a workstation is the area covered by a sewing machine, a chair, containers with incoming parts and finished pieces and the nearby space in which the workers need to move.In case of sewing work station design the floor space is around four square metres. In case where larger products are manufactured such as curtains, tents or rugs, this floor space can be as high as 6 to 8 square metres. A well designed workstation is important for productive work. Most workers in factories producing garments repeat the same or similar operations for the entire production lot which, if performed efficiently and quickly, can result in greater productivity.
