Overall Educational Objective

To acquire knowledge and skills necessary to design man-machine systems, enhance employee satisfaction and well-being, and overall performance of man-machine systems through systematic analysis, redesign, and optimization of work tasks and roles.

Course Description

This course introduces students the main elements of man-machine systems, human capabilities, limitations and needs in relation to the work task in production and service systems. Through theoretical discussions, practical examples, and hands-on exercises, students will gain a comprehensive understanding on main principles of man-machine system design, work measurement methods, job evaluation systems.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) understand man-machine system elements in detail;
2) analyze and evaluate the relationship between work analysis and industrial engineering topics;
3) understand the importance of work environment design;
4) Understand the relationship between work systems design and work health and safety;
5) Identify and classify human performance distribution.
