摘要
A technique is described which enables the distribution of discomfort in the body, and its change during the work period, to be recorded. The recorded data indicate points of inadequate man - machine compatibility as well as permitting the evaluation of the effectiveness of machine designs. When used in conjunction with measures of production performance the technique provides direct evidence of the benefits of ergonomic changes. Its use is illustrated in relation to a study of spot welders.
