Ergonomic efficiency

Increased Productivity

This article compares the increase in productivity that can be achieved by an operator when in an ergonomic environment, compared to standard workstation setup.

Extract: "Dainoff and Dainoff (1986) report an experimental study in which a VDU workstation designed according to commonly accepted ergonomic guidelines was compared with one that deliberately broke most of the rules. . . [Subjects] performed an experimental task involving data entry and editing under realistic conditions. A composite performance measure was used which took into account both speed and errors whereby subjects were paid by results. Performance was 25% higher at the ergonomically designed workstation; and when differences in lighting were eliminated, there was still an 18% performance difference."
