HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING ∗: AN AIRCRAFT COMPANY CHIEF ENGINEER'S VIEWPOINT

Pages 294-300 | Published online: 30 May 2007
 

Abstract

Essential features of successful work on human factors in machine and equipment design are summarized and discussed. Stress is laid on the fact that objective, quantitative knowledge of these factors must not only be obtained by research but must also be applied; that it must be incorporated during the design stage of equipment development; and that the worth of such knowledge and the incorporation of it into equipment design must be assessed in terms of effectiveness and cost. This type of knowledge has application not only to the operation and use of equipment, but also to support activities such as maintenance, training and repair.
