ABSTRACT
Ergonomic design has as an objective the realization of quality products adapted to their user. Manufacturers tend to consider that a product is high quality if it respects a certain set of technical specifications; there seems to be little distinction between purely commercial needs and those of the end-user. Ergonomics counters this way of thinking by bringing into consideration the concept of ergonomic quality, which is concerned with the reaction or response of a product to the functional needs of user in everyday life and to his or her psycho-physiological characteristics.
