Conception of a task analysis- and screening-method for identifying age- critical fields of activity on the basis of the Chemnitz Age Model

On the basis of the "Chemnitz Age Modell's" data research, an "age-differentiated task analysis-and screening-method (ATS)" is momentarily developed at the Professorship of Human Factors and Ergonomics at the Chemnitz University of Technology. With the help of ATS, task demands and standardized skills can be compared, and hence operation fields for the development and design of products and processes can transparently be presented on the basis of age-dependent perfonnance factors.
