Increase in productivity and comfort by applying participatory ergonomics: 8 succes factors
conference paper
Based on literature at least 8 factors could be established that play a role in being successful in a participatory ergonomics project. These factors are structured in a reasoning model. The model distinguishes the success factors in ‘goal', ‘involvement’ and ‘process’. Goals: in the literature evidence is found that a positive approach has its benefits in terms of shareholder value and productivity, but also on comfort. Involvement: the literature shows that participation of end-users and management contributes to the success. Process: in the process it is essential to have a good inventory of the problems, a structured approach, a steering group responsible for the guidance and end-users involvement in testing of ideas and prototypes.
