The Preliminary Study on the Human-Factor Evaluation System for Maintainability Design

The maintenance works of products are so heavy that they have to be considered as one of the most important work in the designing phase of products. This paper classifies the human factors requirement in the repair processes of products. The evaluation methods and the requirements of the human factors in maintainability design are studied. This paper details those factors to make them could be assessed conveniently by using ergonomics theory. A human-factor evaluation method for maintainability design with the VR-based environment is presented. By using the VR-based environment, the evaluation could be developed at the preliminary design of products.
