Objectives of Human Engineering

Human engineering has two broader objectives:

1. To enhance the efficiency and effectiveness with which the activities (work) is carried out so as to increase the convenience of use, reduced errors and increase In productivity.

2. To enhance certain desirable human values including safety, reduced stress and fatigue and improved quality of life. Thus in general the scope and objective of human engineering is “designing for human use and optimizing working and living conditions”. Thus human factors (human engineering ) discovers kind applies information about human behavior, abilities and limitations and other characteristics to the design of tools, machines, systems, tasks, jobs and environment for productive, safe, comfortable and effective human use.
