For enterprises to maintain a competitive advantage in a market that is in a state of constant flux, they will need to devise novel approaches to the planning and management of innovations. One of the primary objectives of this strategy is to improve the effectiveness of the manufacturing processes. This is accomplished via the use of a variety of techniques and the allocation of varying degrees of importance to various aspects of the manufacturing process. One of the most important aspects of Industry 5.0 is emphasising the importance of putting people first, being concerned about the environment, and being flexible enough to adjust to changing circumstances. In the context of this discussion, the term “human-centred approach” refers to the process of developing socio-technical systems that prioritise the health, safety, and well-being of individuals while simultaneously promoting behaviours that are advantageous to society. It is the study of how research and industry practices interact with one another that is known as ergonomics. In this particular region, the objective is to increase productivity without putting the safety of the workers in jeopardy. To create things, activities, machines, systems, jobs, and settings that are as secure, efficient, and usable as they possibly can be, it is necessary to have a solid understanding of how people behave, as well as what they are capable of doing and what they are not capable of doing. The workers are the foundation of the industrial economy, and they are the system’s most important resource. According to the study, a significant amount of effort has been put forth in order to reduce the negative impact that manufacturing has on the environment. This has been accomplished by reducing the number of ergonomic issues that arise during the design phase of the production process. Through the use of bibliometric research, the foundational works that serve as the foundation for ergonomics have been discovered. In order to effectively use the advantages of ergonomics while simultaneously applying sustainable practices, it is necessary to make specific modifications to the techniques that are currently being used and to make improvements in technology. The findings of this research shed light on the connection between ergonomic and psychological risk factors and the level of productivity achieved by workers.
