MACROERGONOMICS

 MACROERGONOMICS

 

Ergonomics is about designing for people, wherever they interact with products, systems or processes.

Macroergonomics or Organizational ergonomics is concerned with the optimization of socio-technical systems, including their organizational structures, policies, and processes. (Relevant topics include communication, crew resource management, work design, work systems, design of working times, teamwork, participatory design, community ergonomics, cooperative work, new work programs, virtual organizations, telework, and quality management.)

 The goal of macroergonomics is a fully harmonized work system at both the macro- and micro-ergonomic level which results in improved productivity, job satisfaction, health and safety, and employee commitment.

 We live in a society in which employees’ well-being has a direct impact on a company’s results. The main cost components are medical costs, productivity losses, and human costs (loss of life). It is clear that such vast problems cannot be solved easily. Holistically, it is important to view well-being issues in the workplace from both detailed and systemic perspectives. Together, these views can provide more sustainable solutions than local safety fixes.

Hence we can say that, Macroergonomics, is the field of science that concentrates on designing overall work systems (WS) by providing the knowledge and methods necessary for the improvement of work systems and, thus, developing the effectiveness and performance of companies (Hendricks, 1996).

The process…

The process typically involves designing, analysing, developing, and improving work systems. Macro-level problems cannot be solved by micro-level solutions, but micro-level problems can be solved with macro-level solutions.

In contrast with (micro)ergonomics, which deals with human-machine, human-task, human-interface, usability, and safety-type issues in the workplace, macroergonomics is a system-level approach to designing the interaction between humans and technology and to understanding how activities and processes are organized to produce products and services for customers.

Macroergonomics aims at a holistic understanding of how work is designed from the top-down, in such a way that macroergonomic design is considered first, work system design second, and microergonomic design last.. The concept of socio-technical systems (STS) in organisational development provides a theoretical foundation for macroergonomics. STS explores how people and technology interact in the workplace.

Socio-Technical Systems

The more complex work systems become, the more important it is to understand the interaction between humans and technology.

The main concepts of STS are humans, tasks, structure, technology (hardware and software), and processes, as well as regulations, policies, and culture. According to macroergonomics, socio-technical work systems consist of five elements:

           Technology is needed to carry out the goals set for the work system. With the help of technology, tasks and problems can be solved.

           People (personnel) occupy a core role in work systems, since only people can achieve goals with the help of technology. Important aspects regarding people include competence, demographics, psychosocial factors, and teams.

           Organisational design specifies how technology and people are organised and managed together in work systems. Contemporary areas include lean processes and digitalisation.

           The external environment is something that cannot be influenced from inside work systems.

           The internal environment includes considerations such as the psychosocial and physical environment and cultures that are not part of the system design.

 Different human factors and ergonomic theories and methods can be applied to various levels of the macroergonomic design process. A macroergonomic system may include several interconnected work systems. Interfaces are areas in which interactions between humans and machines and software occur. Interfaces are typically designed to support goal-oriented human being and activity.

What Makes a Chair Ergonomic?

What is an ergonomic chair?

An ergonomic chair is one that is designed to best support the body when sitting at a desk.

It aims to find a solution to body pains and strains created by using a standard chair for prolonged periods.

The ergonomic chair considers posture, back support, distribution of weight, comfort, and movement.

It should have multiple adjustable parts, so it uniquely fits every user and every user can sit comfortably at work.


What makes a chair ergonomic?



Seat height

What makes a chair ergonomic is its seat height adjustment.

Everyone is different, so it is important that the seat height can be altered. The optimal seat height should allow you to place your feet flat on the floor.

A seat height that ranges from 16 to 21 inches off the floor should work for most people.


Seat width and depth

Proper seat depth should leave between 2 and 4 inches between the edge of the seat and the back of your knees.

If the seat is too far forward, it may put undue pressure at the back of the knees.


Seat tilt

What makes a chair ergonomic is also the seat tilt. Good ergonomic chairs allow the seat to tilt for correct positioning of the pelvis. Anterior pelvic tilt is a posture problem that affects almost everyone who sits a lot.

So it’s important to keep the pelvis in a neutral position when sitting, with 80-degree angles at the hips, knees and ankles.


Backrest lumbar support

The support given to your lower back is an essential feature of an ergonomic chair. This is what makes a chair ergonomic.

An adjustable backrest allows users to align the curve in the chair with the curve in their spine.

Ergonomic chairs support the natural S shape of the spine, which prevents slumping and reduces stress on the spine and the pelvis.


Backrest recline

An adjustable backrest is what makes a chair ergonomic. It allows people to move the backrest to more specifically support their natural spine position.

Swivel

The swivel in an ergonomic chair helps users with their manoeuvrability, making it easier to reach different points of their desks without having to strain too much.


Armrests

Armrests adjustment helps reduce tension in the upper body and allows the shoulders to relax.


Headrest

This part supports the back of the head and the upper neck, reducing tension in the shoulders and upper torso.


Materials

A good ergonomic chair is made out of comfortable materials. The material should not cause the user’s back to sweat.

High-end ergonomic chairs will use leather or velvet.


Wheels

If your chair will be used on a hard surface, find a chair with soft rubber wheels. If your workplace or home office is carpeted, opt for hard wheels to navigate better.


Ergonomic chairs help us a lot in reducing fatigue and strain. Here are the best reasons why ergonomic chairs are important:

Posture support

Enhance productivity

Reduce pain

Reduce hips pressure

Adjustability

Increase blood circulation

Fewer workers’ compensation claims

Designed for all users

Optimum safety

Long-term use


Here are steps on how to choose an ergonomic chair that you should know:


Step 1: Look for the ability to adjust the chair’s height.

Step 2: Consider who is going to use the chair.

Step 3: Make sure elements of the chair can be individually adjusted.

Step 4: Check the chair for adequate and middle back support.

Step 5: Examine the chair’s lumbar support.

Step 6: Make sure the backrest can be adjusted or reclined.

Step 7: Make sure the seat is the right size for you.

Step 8: Check the padding of the seat to make sure it is made of high quality.

Step 9: Consider if you can tilt the seat of the chair.

Step 10: Try out chairs in person.

Step 11: Consider the details of the chair.

Step 12: Search for different chair styles before deciding to buy it.

Taking A Design Brief For Interior Design


(This has been written from the point of view of the Client; you can modify the questions from your viewpoint , that is, questions that you will ask the client as a designer)
Here are some things for you to think about:
Kitchen
-          Who is the main cook and what sort of cooking do they like to do? (baking, stir-fry etc)

-          What sort of small appliances do you need to house?

-          How much storage will you need for china, plastics and cutlery? just to name a few

-          Will you entertain in the kitchen area? Do you need seating?

-          What oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge do you want to include?

-          Do you want a wine fridge?

-          What kind of lighting you will need

-          Bench top materials and heights

-          Floor to ceiling cabinetry or more modular

-          Styles - traditional, contemporary or art deco, etc.

Bathrooms

-          Do you want to incorporate a bathtub?

-          Will your children mainly be using a particular bathroom?

-          Will there be a specific guest bathroom or toilet?

-          Average or large size shower area?

-          Heights of the main people using the shower

-          Storage needed for towels and personal effects including hair dryers, GHD’s and shavers

-          Make-up lighting

And the big one...VENTILATION
Laundry

-          Who is the main person using this space?

-          Do you intend to iron in the laundry?

-          What size will your washer and dryer be

-          Storage needed for cleaning supplies and linen

-          Good access to the outside

-          Would you like a drying cupboard?

Rest of the interior

-          Do you need a lot of storage for children’s toys and personal effects?
-          Who are the main users of each space? For example, the formal living room may only be used by adults,whereas the dining and living area is for the whole family
-          How much entertaining do you do?
-          What sort of feel do you want each room to have? Luxurious, comfortable, relaxed, formal and the list goes on
-          Any inside pets?

Exterior
-          Is anyone in your family allergic to certain plants?
-          Do you want low care/easy maintenance or do you enjoy gardening?
-          Will you spend a fair bit of time outside? Will you entertain in the space?
-          What sort of BBQ area do you want?
-          Is there, or will there be a pool?
-          Do you have any pets?
-          Will you need a children’s play area?

There is so much more that could be added to this list; however we could be discussing this all day.  When I meet my clients I have a list of comprehensive questions that I go through.  I always ask my client to do some research on the things they like and more importantly what they don’t like.  This isn’t an expensive exercise as a lot of it can be done through the internet these days, and having visuals with you when you discuss your design brief, will help you to explain what look you are after to your designer.

A good designer will take your brief and come up with a plan that will see it come alive.  They also will ensure that colours and materials will add to the structure of your home, depending on its style.

Happy briefing.

  • Portfolio submission is a mandatory component of the graduation process for all architecture and design courses. 
  • Creative Sciences offers a course for ‘Portfolio Creation’ which is an intensive visualisation skill based course that requires dedication and commitment on part of the student. 
  • This course aims to develop the student’s ability to communicate their ideas, thoughts and feelings about their ‘Design field’ in a visual form.
  • The Design portfolio is not simply a collection of your work. Rather, it is a personal statement of creative ability and design thinking. The portfolio is a self-presentation tool that creatively communicates your ‘Design Outlook’ and the level of development through a variety of media and skill sets. The portfolio should include a selection of design works and at-least one example of the development of design work in the area of your expertise ( architecture, interior, fashion, product, interaction etc design).
  • Please remember that there is no typical model portfolio. You must remember that the reviewer is curious to see your best work and will make decision based on the creative display.
  • You should never copy other people’s work and involve yourselves in any unethical practice  and plagiarism.
