Product
Evaluation
Advanced Ergonomics, Inc. specializes in ergonomics. We offer manufacturers
an opportunity to have their equipment or products evaluated in relation to
appropriate ergonomic guidelines and principles. The review process is headed by
Joe Selan, Ph.D., CPE, Senior Vice
President of Advanced Ergonomics.
Product evaluations performed by AEI include: Wafer manufacturing systems,
hand-held data collection terminals, keyboards, hand tools, handling assist
devices, seating, workstations, airplane cockpits, software, and many other
products for company and individual use.
We perform a careful evaluation of each piece of equipment. This includes
studying the product at our office, as well as field research that may be
necessary to understand a specific application.
Evaluation issues included
- Appropriateness of functions allocated to
machine vs. human.
- Acceptability of weights handled and
forces exerted when using the equipment.
- Acceptability of product dimensions based
on physical size of the intended users.
- User training.
- Cost benefit analysis.
- Acceptability of anticipated postures
when using the equipment.
- Control and display issues.
- Acceptability of equipment given
environmental conditions.
- Ease of maintenance.
A detailed report is prepared on each product describing the acceptability of
the product's features, including specific modifications that could make the
product better.
