Man Machine System

Man Machine System

The fundamental concept in human engineering is the system. A system is composed of humans, machines and other things that work together (or interact) to accomplish some goal which these same components could not product independently. The man-machine system is a combination of one or more human beings and one or more physical components interacting to bring about, from given inputs, some desired output. Man-machine system consists of any type of physical object, device, equipment, facility and activities performed by man. One way to characterize man machine system is the degree of manual verses machine control. The three board categories of system are:

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.
