The influence of human perception on the efficiency of ergonomically shaped workstation

Ergonomically shaped workstation in garment industry mainly equals to greater efficiency. Numerous factors are taken into consideration when designing such workstation and are treated as variables not depending on time. This is particularly true for anthropometric measures, areas of sight, ranges of reach and working conditions. Working capabilities of a man depend on the above-mentioned factors (anthropometric measures, etc.) but they vary to some extent during working hours. Ergonomically shaped workstation is designed mainly for standardised characteristics of the worker taking into consideration optimal perceptual abilities of an “average” worker. Human perception is a variable depending on time which implies both area of sight and range of reach are time dependet (area of sight and range of reach here refer to sizes used by a man at a certain time and not to physically determined sizes). This paper elaborates on time dependency of human perceptual characteristics and implications on evaluating the ergonomic characteristics of a workstation.
