| Summary |
Delivers an account of methods that incorporate human capabilities and limitations, environmental factors, human-machine interaction, and other factors into system design. Comprises six sections, each representing a specialized field of ergonomics with a representative selection of associated methods. The sections highlight facets of human factors and ergonomics in systems analysis, design, and evaluation. Sections I through III address individuals and their interactions with the world. Section IV explores social groupings and their interactions (team methods), and Section V examines the effect of the environment on workers. The final section provides an overview of work systems-macroergonomics methods.--ERGONOMICSnetBASE description |
