The impact of organizational ergonomics on work effectiveness: with special reference to concurrent engineering in manufacturing industries

摘要

A theoretical interdisciplinary model that gives consideration to the critical human and organizational variables for success in concurrent engineering has been developed and validated based on the data derived form 103 electronic component manufacturing companies in the USA. The aim of the model is to determine the impact of organizational ergonomics on work effectiveness in concurrent engineering. A set of questionnaires was developed and data were collected form the manager of the concurrent engineering effort, the team leader and design, manufacturing and marketing team members.
