What is the role of ergonomics in product designing ?

  • A.Reducing manufacturing costs
  • B.Maximizing production speed
  • C.Improving user comfort and efficiency
  • D.Enhancing aesthetics

Answer: C

Ergonomics aims at improving user comfort and efficiency.

Ergonomics (human factors) fits a product to the body and abilities of the person who uses it: its dimensions, reach, grip, posture, effort and ease of operation. A well-designed chair, kitchen counter or tool reduces fatigue and strain and helps the user work better and more safely.

Lower costs and faster production concern the manufacturer, not the user, and aesthetics concerns appearance. A good ergonomic design may also look good, but that is not its role.
