Abstract

An ergonomic approach to man-machine systems design is illustrated by two examples, both in maintenance departments of the Netherlands Railways. In both situations (the departments for the maintenance of roller bearings and of doors of rolling stock) the application of the ergonomic systems design methodology was made possible because of a planned rebuilding. The projects also were a manifestation of the cooperation between a university department and an ergonomic group in industry.
