“…Therefore, inclusive design is about the appropriateness of any design for the individual (Vanderheiden, 2009). This research arose from earlier work concerned with activities of daily living, which was part of the Extending QUAlity Life program (Case, Porter, Gyi, Marshall, & Oliver, 2001;Porter, Case, Marshall, Gyi, & Sims, 2004). The focus was on the domestic environment.…”

In common with many industries, manufacturing faces the challenge of effective management of a diverse workforce. Humans differ greatly, but traditional manufacturing work practices do not take into account human variability issues during the work design process. Variations in individual and organizational work performance are due to many individual factors, such as age, gender, level of skill, experience, and background bring performance inconsistencies. This research investigates the effects of individual skill on work performance in general and workplace safety and human well‐being in particular. A research framework is proposed for highlighting major differences in work‐performing strategies, their potential impact on work performance, and how these findings can be used for designing more inclusive work practices. A case study has been presented in which ergonomics risk assessment methods have been used to validate the usefulness of this framework. It is also concluded that skill has a strong relationship with the level of risk attached to various task‐performing strategies.

“…This is because the posturing of the manikins is usually a function of: (a) predictions based on biomechanics or kinematics that are not informed by actual user behaviour or (b) the designer's experience in positioning manikins. This limitation may be overcome through the improved practices of population modelling, quantitative virtual fitting and posture prediction (Case et al 2001, Kee and Karwowski 2001, Garneau and Parkinson 2010, which simulate user behaviour to predict their preferred posture when interacting with the product. These methods involve the formulation of models of user behaviour based on experimental studies aimed at observing the interaction of users with prototypes of products (e.g.…”

“…In general, the process is guided by the tutor, who must analyse the behaviour, the knowledge and the satisfaction of the student. The tutor has to determine and apply the more appropriate teaching strategies at every moment (Case et al, 2001;Nowak, 1999). These strategies must answer a series of questions to ensure that the learning process is carried out successfully (Chia-Fen, 1999).…”
