ABSTRACT
Recently there have been many research initiatives attempting to integrate quality and ergonomics issues. However, currently there are few examples of applications in industry and public sector that are based on an integrative approach. This chapter gives a broad overview of ergonomics preconditions for quality and presents a framework for an integrative approach to the development of quality and ergonomics in concert. To illustrate the possibilities and to visualize some of the methods and tools that can be used in this context, some examples will be presented briefly.
