definitions

Two of the questions I get asked over and over depending on my audience and their familiarity with the “what, why and how” I do what I do are:  “Just what exactly is ergonomics?” and/or “Just what is this lean thing about?”  To answer those two questions I decided to define them by using the words themselves.  Below are the meaning of ergonomics and lean:

Easy

Respect for people (user & misuser)

Great fit, function and looks

Optimize human and system performance

Neutral postures and positions
