Abstract
It is well recognized that inclusion of Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) in early design phase not only reduces overall cost, but also improves operational safety and operator well-being. However, in industry, particularly in manufacturing, majority of the time, active inclusion of HFE principles or involving ergonomics experts happens in much later stages (after reported incidents-reactive approach). Hence, it becomes challenging to control the problem at the root level. The aim of this paper is to re-emphasize the importance of HFE and its inclusion at early design phase, especially when manufacturing facilities are being set up, in order to optimize system safety focusing into human needs. Through real-world case scenarios the relevance of the scope was presented.
