Measurement Based Methods
in Ergonomics Product Design
Kevin J. Costello,
CPE, United States Ergonomics
Chandra Nair
CPE, Motorola
March 10, 2008: 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Rosen Centre Hotel, Orlando, FL
This seminar emphasizes the ergonomics product design process and techniques used to quantify ergonomics performance. The purpose is to provide insight into how a human factors practitioner would interact with a product design team throughout the various stages of product development, with an emphasis on problem solving and validation. This session will include several case studies and hands-on, interactive demonstrations. A variety of measurement tools and equipment will be demonstrated, such as EMG, goniometry, force sensors, pressure mapping, and vibration. Published criteria and generally accepted thresholds and guidelines will be used as reference thresholds. This program is arranged under guidance of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.

Revitalizing & Maximizing
Your Office Ergonomics Program
Kevin Costello, BS, CPE, United States Ergonomics
November 29th, 2007
Thursday, 2:15pm-3:45pm
The best practices in office ergonomics continue to evolve with the introduction of new software methods, equipment improvements, a changing workforce, and the use of lean manufacturing principles in the office. This in-depth session will present effective approaches utilized by organizations looking to take their ergonomics program, and program results to the next level. Approaches and techniques discussed will include:
- Establishing office ergonomics champions, and using incentive programs to improve compliance
- Leveraging technology to automate processes
- Implementing ergonomics hotlines and telephonic ergonomics support
- Creating an ergonomics product dispensary
- Establishing and communicating office specifications.
Ergonomic Workplace Design,
Risk Analysis and Solutions
Kevin Costello, BS, CPE, United States Ergonomics
Wednesday, October 17, 2007
3:15-4:30 pm
Chicago Marriott Schaumburg
50 N. Martingale Road
Schaumburg, Illinois 60173
This session introduces quantitative approaches for assessing the ergonomics efficiency of work methods, equipment design, tools and employee techniques.
The objective is to achieve measurable gains in production efficiency while reducing ergonomics risks. It is intended to work well within the structure of lean manufacturing and six-sigma programs. The primary focus involves advanced methods for quantifying workplace demands and establishing acceptable thresholds. The development of ergonomics specifications for workstations, tools and equipment are covered.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will leave this session with:
- Familiarity with the techniques and methods available to objectively measure ergonomics efficiency in the workplace
- Familiarity with the guidelines and thresholds that product, process and ergonomics engineers can use to assess tools, equipment, workstations and employee technique.
