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.
