ABSTRACT
The purpose of Industrial Engineering (IE) is, in general, to seek an optimal solution under given conditions. As one of the main areas of IE, Human Factors (HF) engineering pursues the same goal. The only difference is the target, which is people. “Human Factors” and “ergonomics” have become familiar terms, as can be seen from the use of ergonomics in applications from simple tools to very sophisticated airplanes. The study of HF has as its goal maximizing human capacity, usability, and comfort while minimizing human errors, accidents, and injury. Therefore, in ergonomics, we design a system that takes into account human capabilities and skills while optimizing technology and human interactions.
