Human Factors Engineering (HFE) Checklists

  • 设计评估, 设计过程, 人体工程学, 人为因素, 人因工程（HFE）, 可用性, 可用性测试, 用户体验（UX）, 以使用者為中心的設計

目标

To systematically evaluate a product or system for compliance with human factors principles.

如何使用

  • Checklists that contain a list of questions or criteria based on human factors principles, such as anthropometry, biomechanics, and cognitive psychology. They are used to identify potential usability issues and ergonomic risks in a design.

优点

  • Provides a structured and systematic way to evaluate a design; Helps to ensure that human factors are considered throughout the design process.

缺点

  • Can be generic and may not cover all aspects of a specific design; May not be a substitute for user testing.

类别

  • 人体工程学, 产品设计

最适合：

  • Evaluating a new product or workstation design to ensure it is safe, comfortable, and easy to use.
Human Factors Engineering (HFE) Checklists serve as an effective tool across various industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and consumer products, enabling design teams to systematically assess how well a product or workstation accommodates users. For instance, in healthcare, these checklists can be applied when designing medical devices, where user interactions must be safe and efficient to avoid errors that could impact patient outcomes. Their use is particularly beneficial during the prototyping and testing phases of product development, allowing participants such as engineers, designers, and end-users to collaborate in identifying usability issues early in the design process. Checklists are grounded in principles of human factors like anthropometry and cognitive load, which help designers consider physical dimensions and cognitive capabilities of users, thereby reducing ergonomic risks and enhancing overall user experience. The structured approach of these checklists allows teams to document findings clearly, facilitating communication and ensuring that human considerations are not overlooked as the design iterates. They play a fundamental role in fostering a culture of user-centered design, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and reducing costs associated with redesigns after market introduction. The iterative feedback encouraged by HFE checklists can lead to innovations that better meet user needs by facilitating engagement during workshops and 设计评论, where collective insights can be harnessed to refine products.

该方法的关键步骤

  1. Identify the target user population and their specific characteristics.
  2. Define the context of use, including environment and tasks involved.
  3. Create a checklist based on human factors principles relevant to the design.
  4. Apply the checklist during initial design reviews to evaluate usability and ergonomics.
  5. Conduct iterative assessments throughout the design process to refine the checklist application.
  6. Integrate user feedback into the evaluation criteria for continuous improvement.
  7. Evaluate findings against established ergonomic and usability standards.
  8. Modify the design based on checklist evaluations and user feedback.
  9. Perform a final review using the checklist before product launch or implementation.

专业提示

  • Incorporate iterative usability testing of the checklist throughout the design process; directly align findings with user interactions.
  • Utilize multidisciplinary teams to evaluate the checklist; diverse expertise can provide broader perspectives on potential risks.
  • Regularly update checklists based on emerging research in human factors; staying current enhances the relevance of evaluations.
