- - - - Key aims of ergonomics and anthropometrics
        
        Reduce stress and fatigue
        
        Increase safety and ease in use
        
        Enhance operational confort
        
        Improve system performance, reliability and maintenance
        
        ERGONOMICS SHOULD NOT ONLY BE COMFORTABLE
      - Ergonomics Improve Product by
        
        Efficient: less strain and fatigue, faster task completion
        
        Usable: easier & intuitive, don’t need to be taught before use
        
        Functional: works well
        
        effective: complete task
        
        safe: prevent injuries and musculoskeletal disorders
