PLEASE MAKE TRAVEL PLANS ACCORDINGLY.
This course guides participants
towards becoming proficient ergonomics evaluators
and solution developers in their production facilities.
Students begin by reviewing the fundamentals of
ergonomics and by gaining exposure to basic ergonomics
assessment techniques. As the attendees advance
through the course, experience with established
ergonomics evaluation tools and complex problems
leads to sharpened assessment skills. The class's
hands-on nature will be of special value to the
practitioners who are on the day-to-day firing
line in the production area. Emphasis will be placed
on practical problem solving based on the understanding
and application of ergonomic principles. Students
are encouraged to bring examples (slides, tapes,
etc.) of "ergo-problems" in their facility
to the class for evaluation. A basic understanding
of ergonomics principles is desirable.
