Document Summary

Reactive vs. proactive ergonomics: evaluating existing workplaces and jobs vs. new concept systems. Human factors design cycle: understand users task and context, create evaluate, improves which each iteration. 2: propose and evaluate solutions to eliminate or reduce exposure. Task design: method to perform and communicate detailed analysis of a machine/system, sub set of job analysis. System may be conceptual: utilize prior knowledge, experience, research to generate system requirements. Operational system: we can make observations and measure data. Goals: end condition, does not depend on specific technology (what not how) Functions: transformations, what needs to happen to reach goal. Tasks: specific actions of the users to perform functions, physical and cognitive. Greater analysis detail for more complex system. How long does it take to complete components and job.
