This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lévolution des modes de vie conduit à une évolution des besoins et des souhaits des personnes, en quête «d'expérience », de « bien-être » et de « plaisir » à travers les produits qu'elles utilisent. Les entreprises doiventaujourd'hui satisfaire et séduire ces personnes de plus en plus exigeantes, en étant source d'innovation et denouveauté. Ainsi, elles s'intéressent de plus en plus dans leur démarche de conception de produits à une meilleureprise en compte du facteur humain. Faire vivre aux personnes des expériences positives et de qualité, demandeune démarche spécifique qui les placent au centre des préoccupations des acteurs-métier de la conception deproduits. Dans ce contexte, le processus de conception requiert l'intervention de différentes disciplines sensiblesjustement au facteur humain. Ainsi dans le cadre de nos travaux de recherche, nous nous sommes intéressés aurapprochement de l'ergonomie et du design, deux disciplines sensibles aux personnes qui évoluent vers denouvelles pratiques : le design pour « des besoins » et l'ergonomie prospective. Nous axons nos travaux derecherche sur les pratiques de ces deux disciplines qui convergent vers une vision commune, prospective et «humaniste » de la conception de produits, pour une meilleure prise en compte des personnes. Le principal enjeuscientifique de notre travail est de mieux cerner les pratiques actuelles, de l'ergonomie et du design dans uncontexte de conception de produits. Ceci, pour proposer à ces acteurs-métier une démarche (IDLifeS) et des outils(Guides de Connaissances), interdisciplinaires, qui correspondent à l'évolution de leurs pratiques respectives et quileur permettent de co-concevoir des produits et des situations de vie qui correspondent aux besoins, aux souhaits etaux caractéristiques des personnes.
Download or read book Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design written by Waldemar Karwowski and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-06-22 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day we interact with thousands of consumer products. We not only expect them to perform their functions safely, reliably, and efficiently, but also to do it so seamlessly that we don’t even think about it. However, with the many factors involved in consumer product design, from the application of human factors and ergonomics principles to reducing risks of malfunction and the total life cycle cost, well, the process just seems to get more complex. Edited by well-known and well-respected experts, the two-volumes of Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design simplify this process. The second volume, Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design: Uses and Applications, discusses challenges and opportunities in the design for product safety and focuses on the critical aspects of human-centered design for usability. The book contains 14 carefully selected case studies that demonstrate application of a variety of innovative approaches that incorporate Human Factor and Ergonomics (HF/E) principles, standards, and best practices of user-centered design, cognitive psychology, participatory macro-ergonomics, and mathematical modeling. These case studies also identify many unique aspects of new product development projects, which have adopted a user-centered design paradigm as a way to attend to user requirements. The case studies illustrate how incorporating HF/E principles and knowledge in the design of consumer products can improve levels of user satisfaction, efficiency of use, increase comfort, and assure safety under normal use as well as foreseeable misuse of the product. The book provides a comprehensive source of information regarding new methods, techniques, and software applications for consumer product design.
Download or read book Human Factors in Product Design written by W. Green and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-08-19 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufacturers are becoming more aware of human factors in product design as a major competitive issue. In many product areas, manufacturers have reached a technology ceiling, which simply means that it is increasingly difficult to get ahead of the competition in terms of, for example, functionality, technical reliability or manufacturing costs. As a consequence, design has become a major battleground for manufacturers, and usability is recognized as being a central tenet of good design. This book provides a unique snapshot of current practice in human factors, identifying methods and techniques that work well under tight constraints and providing case study evidence of their effectiveness. The commercial implications of usability are discussed, and special attention is paid to two key trends: inclusive design and smart products. Inclusive design is about meeting the needs of all users with one design, which includes the elderly and the disabled. Smart products are multi-functional products with electronic interfaces containing a vast array of "helpful" functions. Industrial designers and manufacturing executives will find this text enlightening.

Book excerpt: With so much attention placed upon comfort in the sale of many goods and in relation to musculoskeletal injuries, it is surprising that there is no generally accepted notion of comfort or discomfort that allow them to be easily incorporated into the design process. Because of this lack of a comfort/discomfort paradigm, industry also lacks a referen
Download or read book Human Factors In Consumer Products written by Neville A. Stanton and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of consumer products has a central role in its potential for contributing to a healthier living and working space. However, too often consumers are only aware of the designers' role when bad practice manifestly exacerbates the easy application of basic functionality. This important book places human factors perspective firmly at the centre of good practice in consumer product design, encouraging rigorous human factors evaluation and methodology as an essential component of the design process. The book's central theme is to introduce human factors techniques to consumer product design and the efficacy of the approach is illustrated with several case studies from a diverse variety of products. Products addressed range from scissors to strimers, from pens to power tools, from kettles to cookers, from radio-cassettes to rucksacks, adn from razors to VCRs. Techniques brought to bear on the devices include: checklists, hierarchical task analysis, observations, interviews, error prediction, questionnaires, guidelines, focus groups, simulations and user trials. Key Features: * Foreword by Sean Blair of the Design Council * Valuable resource for professionals, academics and students in both human factors engineering and design * Fosters an approach which integrates the skills of both professions in a successful approach to consumer product design * Includes plenty of examples throughout the book

Download or read book Le design des objets du quotidien written by Don Norman and published by Editions Eyrolles. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Même le plus brillant d’entre nous peut se sentir perdu face à l’inconnu et ne pas réussir à régler la température de la douche d’un hôtel, à utiliser une télévision ou une plaque de cuisson sans consulter la notice. À ce propos, dès la première publication de cet ouvrage, en 1988, Don Norman expliquait avec un ton provocateur que le problème n’est pas en nous et ne vient pas de nous, mais qu’il provient d’une conception qui ignore les besoins et la psychologie des personnes. Les mauvaises conceptions sont légion, mais on peut heureusement y remédier aisément en créant des objets faciles à prendre en main. Cette édition, soigneusement révisée et (enfin) traduite en français, rappelle les principes intemporels de la psychologie qui vous donneront les clés pour élaborer des objets adaptés à leurs utilisateurs. Vous comprendrez enfin pourquoi certains produits sont si satisfaisants alors que d’autres ne peuvent que décevoir. Note des éditions Eyrolles Ce livre est la traduction du best-seller The design of everyday things. Nous avons longuement hésité à nommer la version française de cet ouvrage « Le design des choses du quotidien », traduction littérale du titre anglais, mais l’acception du terme « choses », ici un peu péjorative, nous semblait dénaturer son contenu. Nous avons donc finalement choisi « Le design des objets du quotidien », plus proche des propos de l’auteur. Spécialiste en sciences cognitives, DON NORMAN est directeur du Design Lab à l’University of California, à San Diego. Diplômé en génie et en psychologie, il a écrit de nombreux ouvrages et a également été vice-président d’Apple. Il habite à La Jolla (Californie).

Download or read book Ergonomie conception de produits et services m diatis s written by Gérard Valléry and published by PUF. This book was released on 2015-09-17T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans la continuité du 42e congrès de la SELF (Saint Malo, 2007) et développant certaines des communications présentées au cours de celui-ci, cet ouvrage vise à fournir un aperçu des évolutions significatives de l'ergonomie dans le domaine des produits et des services. Par « produits » il faut entendre ici des objets ou des biens matériels qui résultent d'un processus de production industriel et qui sont destinés à être utilisés dans un cadre professionnel et/ou hors travail. Des sièges, ordinateurs, des logiciels, des téléphones, des voitures, ou encore des appareils électroménagers, constituent autant d'exemples de produits. La notion de service couvre différents types de situations où un individu, un collectif ou une organisation réalisent une activité pour le bénéfice d'autres individus, collectifs ou organisations (par exemple, le service rendu par un médecin, un agent d’une administration, un chargé de relation clientèle, un agent d'accueil, etc.). Produits et services peuvent être étroitement liés ; c'est par exemple le cas dans le domaine des télécommunications (une application est perçue comme constituant en elle-même un service) ou les services qui accompagnent l'usage d'un produit (service après vente, relation client).
