The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to ergonomics: Ergonomics – study of designing equipment and devices that fit the human body, its movements, and its cognitive abilities.
The field of ergonomics is based on scientific studies of ordinary people in work situations and is applied to the design of processes and machines, to the layout of work places, to methods of work, and to the control of the physical environment, in order to achieve greater efficiency of both men and machines [7] An example of an ergonomics ...
Computer-aided ergonomics is an engineering discipline using computers to solve complex ergonomic problems involving interaction between the human body and its environment. The human body holds a great complexity thus it can be beneficial to use computers to solve problems involving the human body and the environment that surrounds it.
It provides ready linkage between Ergonomics and Process Design, with reliability improvement measures being a direct conclusion which can be drawn from the assessment procedure. It allows cost benefit analyses to be conducted; It is highly flexible and applicable in a wide range of areas which contributes to the popularity of its use [3]
