What is Industrial Engineering ?
Industrial Engineering is concerned with the Design, Improvement, and Installation of Integrated Systems of People, Material, Information, Equipment, and Energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such system (American Institute of Industrial Engineers).

What is ergonomics ?
Branch of science that applies what is known about human behavior, mental processes, and anatomy and physiology to the design, development, and evaluation of work methods, environments, technologies, and systems
Discipline that studies human capabilities and
performance capacities and applies this information in designing consumer products, tools, and equipment
Common definition
Ergonomics is essentially fitting the workplace to the worker. The better the fit, the higher the level of safety and worker efficiency. Fitting the
Task to the Human ~ Grandjean, 1990
Ergonomics removes barriers to quality, productivity and human performance by fitting products, tasks, and environments to people.

Greek words: Ergon : work
Nomos : principle or laws
Ergonomics = The Science of Work
In the literature: in 1840s by Wojciech Jastrzebowski (a Polish educator and scientist) In 1949 by K.F.H. Murrel (a British scientist)
Other terms: Human Factors, Human Engineering, Engineering Psychology
History
Can be traced back to the late 1800s/early 1900s and
Frank and Lillian Gilbrethmotion and time studies, investigated performance, fatigue, workstation design, tool design Formal birth in WWII: significant number of pilot accidents due to human error 1950s regulations began to be developed in USA 1957first professional society was created (HFES) Number of tragedies in semi-recent years: 3-mile Island, Chernobyl, dramatic increase in the number of reported occupational injuries illnesses, and deaths OSHA is developed Computer age

Goal of Ergonomics
Minimize the mis-match between human capabilities
and task requirements
What is the optimal scenario?
Blue = human capabilities gray = job demands
Objectives of HFE
Improve human performance Improve Safety Reduce the need for training Improve user satisfaction

Why Ergonomics?
Increased Productivity
improved work methods increased efficiency better tools less stress and fatigue fewer errors
Money
decreased medical costs
increased productivity decreased workmans
Quality of Work Life
compensation costs fewer lost work day cases (light duty days)
fewer injuries less fatigue and stress improved employee morale
