“…Optimizing the interactions between workers and system settings to ensure worker performance and well-being is the focus of the scientific field of human factors, ergonomics, and sustainability [2]. Physical ergonomics, organizational ergonomics, and cognitive ergonomics are the three basic categories under which HFE can be classified [20]. The first area of physical ergonomics involves human anthropometric, anatomical, and biomechanical traits and physiological aspects of physical exercise [21].…”

The study and implementation of ergonomics are vital for the growth of industries and improvement in work cultures. Sustainable manufacturing cannot be achieved without the implementation of human-factor ergonomics. Ergonomics is used to analyze the link between research studies and industrial practices in order to maximize the efficiency of processes by keeping in view the well-being of workforce. Designing tools, tasks, machines, systems, jobs, and settings for efficient, safe, and successful human usage involves applying knowledge about human behavior, abilities, and limitations. Workers are the backbone of the manufacturing economy. The review outlines significant advancements in preventing ergonomic problems during the design stage of the manufacturing process to achieve sustainability. The bibliometric analysis is used to identify the literature base for ergonomics. To maximize the benefits of ergonomics and to integrate sustainable practices, various methods are required to organize existing processes and technologies. The human-centered design identifies problems and aligns the output with the intended objectives of sustainability. The goal of human factors and ergonomics is to successfully integrate people into systems and develop the manufacturing processes around the well-being of workers and sustainability principles. Similarly, ergoecology, eco-ergonomics, and green ergonomics are frequently used for sustainable manufacturing. Achieving sustainability in manufacturing is not possible without considering human ergonomics. Ergonomists frequently research management, planning, and other topics to increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process. Efficient worker performance and quality of life can be enhanced through work design, management, and organizational ergonomics. Human ergonomics relates sustainability with cognitive variables such as situational awareness, human reliability, and decision-making abilities. This review explains the role of human factors and ergonomics for sustainable manufacturing.

The primary purpose of this study is to reveal the studies on Cognitive Ergonomics (CE), determine general trends, show the gaps and extract new knowledge from the body of the literature. Ergonomics evolved from classical to physical and CE. The literature review on CE is quite limited. Thus, we conducted the most comprehensive review of the CE literature between 1974-2021 to provide an original perspective and extend what is known through analysis, modeling and introduction of new theories. 1958 papers identified from Electronic Databases, 254 of them were selected and included in the analysis. The PRISMA technique was used for the systematic reviews of CE literature with the statistical evidences and detailed discussions. As a result, CE studies were classified into 4 main groups with 13 subgroups. This study offers, constructive analyses of scientific publications on CE, by combing the literature and summarizing the current knowledge in a cogent way.Thus, a basis to enhance future applications in CE was provided. It is predicted that CE activities will be used to solve cognitive problems in more and more areas in the rapidly digitalizing world and will take their place soon especially in Metaverse application and softwares.
