Course content
|
The main attention in this course is paid to the field of ergonomics and its importance in the design of production systems. Students will get acquainted with a systemic view on ergonomics and links to other scientific disciplines. Attention is paid in detail to the three main components of production systems, which are man - machine - environment. The majority of practical exercises are devoted to the introduction of modern software tools for virtual ergonomics. Students will gain experience in how to use these tools in design activities. Specific thematic areas discussed in this course are: 1. Introduction to ergonomics & human factors 2. Importance of ergonomics in work design process 3. ANTHROPOMETRY - Influence of on the design of workplaces 4. ANTHROPOMETRY - Analysis and measurement methods/tools 5. BIOMECHANICS AND WORK PHYSIOLOGY - Influence on the design of workplaces, Ergonomic criteria, General recommendations. 6. BIOMECHANICS AND WORK PHYSIOLOGY - Tools for ergonomic workloads assessment and redesign 7. MENTAL WORKLOAD - Influence on the design of workplaces 8. MENTAL WORKLOAD - Measurement methods and simulation tools 9. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS - Visual comfort 10. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS - Acoustic comfort 11. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS - Thermal comfort 12. MODERN SOFTWARE TOOLS FOR VIRTUAL ERGONOMICS - Tecnomatix Jack 13. MODERN SOFTWARE TOOLS FOR VIRTUAL ERGONOMICS - Tecnomatix Process Simulate
