Definition…
International Ergonomics Association (IEA; Dul & Weerdmeester, 2008):
Kajian ilmiah yang berkaitan dengan pemahaman mengenai interaksi antara manusia dan elemen-elemen dalam sebuah sistem, dan juga suatu upaya dalam menerapkan teori, prinsip, data, dan metode dalam mendesain sesuatu dalam rangka mencapai titik optimum antara kesejahteraan manusia (human well-being) dan kinerja sistem secara keseluruhan.
Wilson (2000):
Pemahaman teoretis dan mendasar mengenai perilaku dan kinerja manusia dalam interaksi sosio-teknik yang memiliki tujuan tertentu, dan aplikasi dari pemahaman itu untuk mendesain interaksi dalam konteks dunia nyata.
Wickens, Gordon, & Liu (2004):
Pengetahuan untuk mendesain sistem agar bisa berfungsi dengan baik, mampu mengakomodasi keterbatasan kinerja manusia, dan memanfaatkan keunggulan operator manusia dalam prosesnya.

9/16/2016 Intro to Ergo - Ridwan Prasetyo 6
Definition (again)…
Sanders & McCormick (1993):
Ilmu yang berperan menemukan dan mengaplikasikan informasi tentang perilaku, kemampuan, keterbatasan, dan karakteristik lain manusia untuk mendesain alat, mesin, tugas, pekerjaan, dan lingkungan agar bisa digunakan secara efektif, nyaman, aman, dan produktif.
Iridiastadi & Yassierli (2014):
Suatu disiplin yang mengkaji keterbatasan, kelebihan, serta karakteristik manusia, dan memanfaatkan informasi tersebut dalam merancang produk, mesin, fasilitas, lingkungan, dan bahkan sistem kerja, dengan tujuan utama tercapainya kualitas kerja yang terbaik tanpa mengabaikan aspek kesehatan, keselamatan, serta kenyamanan manusia penggunanya.
Tarwaka (2010):
Ilmu, seni, dan penerapan teknologi untuk menyerasikan atau menyeimbangkan antara fasilitas (beraktivitas/istirahat) dengan kemampuan dan keterbatasan manusia baik fisik/mental sehingga kualitas hidup menjadi lebih baik.

Therefore . . .
Ergonomics is a science to make MAN and SYSTEMS falling in love each other and living in harmony (Prasetyo, 2016)
Ergonomics is:
“Fitting the task to the man” (Grandjean, 1980)
9/16/2016 Intro to Ergo - Ridwan Prasetyo 9
Let’s squeeze our brain a bit . . .
MAN SYSTEM (and its elements)
9/16/2016 Intro to Ergo - Ridwan Prasetyo 10
Case: Pilot in the flight deckWhat does the system want from the man?
What are characteristics of the man?
At which point they will fall in love?
3 tasks of pilots:1. To aviate2. To navigate3. To communicate
Gestalt theory of proximity:Human tends to perceive elements that are placed together as a group.
Instruments in the cockpit should be grouped and classified according to their function.

Characteristics of Ergonomics (Dul, et al., 2012):
2. Aiming for system design
3. Focusing on two related outputs: performance and well-being
1. Emphasizing on system approach/holistic

So, ergonomics is . . . (Stember, 1991)
MULTIDISCIPLINARY INTERDISCIPLINARY
Different disciplines working together, each drawing on their disciplinary knowledge
Integrating knowledge and methods from different disciplines, using a real synthesis of approaches

Ergonomics methods: Paradigm
Paradigm Scientist-Practitioner Model (Stanton, 2005)
• Extending the work of others• Testing theories of human–machine performance• Developing hypotheses• Questioning everything• Using rigorous data-collection and data-analysis techniques• Ensuring repeatability of results• Disseminating the finding of studies
• Addressing real-world problems• Seeking the best compromise under difficult circumstances• Looking to offer the most cost-effective solution• Developing demonstrators and prototype solutions• Analyzing and evaluating the effects of change• Developing benchmarks for best practice• Communicating findings to interested parties

Ergonomics in our everyday life . . .
Homework:
Find a thing, stuff, system, or anything at your home, kos-an, street, campus, mall, or anywhere else that tends to be non-ergonomic according to you.
Capture it using your phone (or camera) and send me the picture through my email ([email protected]) along with a short description why you consider it non-ergonomic. Please use one power point slide only. Don’t forget your name and NIM.
You should send your own original pictures (captured by your phone/cameras), NOT FROM THE INTERNET!
Use Bahasa Indonesia, but if you try to use English, your effort would be appreciated.
Deadline: Thursday, 22nd September 2016 (18.00 WIB)
Good luck!

Ridwan Prasetyo – NIM: 1234567890
As a right-hand users (since I was a child), I found a difficulty in turning the knob to set the wristwatch quickly without putting it off from my hand. I think this design is non-ergonomic for right-hand users. The solution from me: wristwatch manufacturers should consider right-hand consumers. Thus, they have to multiply the design for right-hand users (with the knob on the left) since wristwatch with the left-side knob is still sparse in market.
