Study Notes

  • The presentation is for the Product Ergonomics class for the Industrial University of Santander.
  • The class start time is at 7:15 a.m.

Product Attributes that Make It Ergonomic

  • The blueberry extractor negates wrist and finger movement during blueberry extraction, allowing the harvester a neutral posture.
  • Decrease of manual contact with the fruit maintains its natural characteristics that avoid accelerated maturation for export
  • The material, flexible transparent polystyrene, has mechanical resistance to high temperatures and enables low-cost production possibilities
  • A web can be usable, in addition to having a positive user experience (UX).
  • Physical and emotional perceptions of users are generated when using a product.
  • It is important not to confuse the user experience with simplification, as that is a common mistake.
  • Usability considers UI, design, and accessibility
  • UX considers emotions and expectations in a specific context of use
  • A good design can make the product accessible, clear in the design and intuitive for easy learning, which gives it credibility

Five Shortcomings When Discussing Product Ergonomics

  • The design satisfactory to me does not mean it is satisfactory to others.
  • Just because a design suits the "average" person it will suit everyone.
  • The assumption that the product will work for everyone does not account for real-world variability
  • The belief that ergonomics are too expensive is an issue when making purchasing decisions.
  • Applying ergonomics intuitively lacks both data and studies.
  • Switch from designing for generic users to designing for real people.

Ergonomic Quality

  • Ergonomic quality depends on people and features.
  • People have individual characteristics and capabilities.
  • The user needs to be considered.
  • Final product should be easy to use and meet expectations.

Suggested Methodology For Ergonomics Design

  • Activity, situation of use
  • Analysis, interface
  • Experimentation
  • Transformation
  • It is important to identify which activities occur during use.

Example

  • Using scissors involves several activities

Determining Activity Model

  • The components of the activity model are:
  • Activity
  • Design of the product
  • Design of work-station
  • Characteristics of the individual
  • These factors influence the posture, gestures, expressions, force, and repetition of an action
  • This can result in discomfort, pain, lesions, fatigue, mental fatigue, changes in performance and errors
  • It would be useful to identify each instance of real activity involved when using gardening shears.

Take-home exercise

  • As a team, determine the Model determinant of the video supplied of washing a tractor trailer.
  • Identify each use situation and save a reference image for each of them.
