Design clearance requirements for largest user: fit through openings, around equipment, large anthropic percentile as lower-limit for design (ex: doorway height) Design reach requirements for smallest users: use lower percentile as higher-limit design, reach envelope (standing, sitting), impact of object weight/need to grasp (functional reach), posture/balance (ex: bend at waist vs. constrained by seatbelt vs. impairment) Adjustability requirements: difficult to have one size fits all (ex: bike seat height) 4 general approaches to workplace adjustment: workplace, worker position relative to the workplace, work piece (lift tables, fixtures, adjusting the tool. 7 principles of component arrangement: frequency of use principle: position most frequently used in most convenient location. Importance principle: place most crucial in a convenient location.
