HFE
Human Factors Engineering (HFE) is a field that focuses on understanding how people interact with systems, products, and environments. It aims to improve safety, efficiency, and user satisfaction by designing tools and processes that accommodate human abilities and limitations. HFE combines knowledge from psychology, engineering, and design to create user-friendly solutions.
In practice, HFE involves analyzing tasks, identifying potential issues, and developing strategies to enhance usability. This can include designing user interfaces, optimizing workspaces, and ensuring that equipment is intuitive. By prioritizing the needs of users, HFE helps reduce errors and improve overall performance in various settings, including healthcare, aviation, and manufacturing.
