Future directions and research issues for ergonomics and advanced manufacturing technology (AMT)

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

In recent years, great progress has been made in the development of computer-based technologies that support the manufacturing industries. Those concerned with advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) are becoming increasingly aware of the fundamental importance of human organisational issues for the successful development, implementation, operation and maintenance of AMT. The disciplines of industrial ergonomics and occupational psychology, therefore, have a significant contribution to make in this field.

This paper introduces the special issue, Ergonomics Matters in AMT, and presents a discussion of some of the future directions of AMT and the likely implications for ergonomics research.
