Anthro­pom­etrics

Human Factor
The combin­ation of ergonomics and anthro­pom­etrics.
Aims of Human Factors
Reduce stress, increase safety, increase ease of use, enhance operat­ional comfort, improve system perfor­mance, reliab­ility, mainta­nance, reduce error
Ergonomics
The applic­ation of scientific inform­ation that concerns about the relati­onship of human to the design of objects, system, and enviro­nments.
Physical Ergonomics
Related to work subject of posture, worksite develo­pment, operating layout, material handling. Deals with body measur­ements. Size, strength, physical capacity.
Cognitive Ergonomics
Concern with mental process such as percep­tion, memory, reasoning. Also concerns about motor resonse, like the affect of the intera­ctions among human an other elements of a system.
Organi­sat­ional Ergonn­omics
Concerns about commun­ica­tion, work design, shift, crew source, teamwork, virtual organi­zation, telework, quality manage­ment. Intera­ctions among humans with other humans.
