Participatory ergonomics in design processes: The role of boundary objects

“…The aim was to develop methods and tools to be applied by ergonomists and other workplace professionals to stage direct participation in design and planning of new installations and production systems (Binder and Brandt, 2008;Broberg, 2010;Seim and Broberg, 2010). The authors were part of this research program.…”

Lean design improves both health-care facilities and processes: a literature review

Especially, health-care providers' opinions,…”
