22、ith a product has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, build, operate, and main- tain new products. Digital modeling and simulation techniques have already proven their ability to significantly reduce the cycle time and cost of designing new products, and have generally improved

23、the quality of products and made them faster, easier, and cheaper to produce, operate, and maintain. But many productssuch as high performance aircraft and spacecraft present additional design challenges in human factors. To get the greatest performance, comfort, and safety from these products, engi

24、neers need to know early in the design process how effectively and efficiently humans will be able to interact with them. These challenges becomes increasingly important as businesses expand into global markets, where the success of new products depends on accommodating a greater diversity of human

25、sizes, shapes, and other physical characteristics. Through accurate digital modeling and simulation of human interactions with a product, all stakeholders in the development of the productmarketing, engineering, production, and supportcan visualize the design and share their concerns about it and ma

26、ke suggestions for improvement. Such evaluations will allow design decisions to be based on a broader under- standing of the user before development resources are committed, and will eliminate many additionaland typically unnecessarysteps that often occur later in the development and support process

27、es. A simple evaluation of manual and visual access for adequately installing and inspecting components in a product, for example, can save many unnecessary ixDigital Human Modeling for Vehicle and Workplace Design steps and thousands of labor hours later on, during the production and mainte- nance

28、of the product over its lifetime. So in an age focused on getting better, faster, and cheaper results through computer technology, the development of effective digital human modeling capabilities seems to be a logical next step for dramatically improving the cycle time, quality, and cost of producin

29、g ergonomically efficient designs. For those companies that value ergonomic thinking and taking the perspective of the customer, assembler, maintainer, and operator during the design process, investments in hardware, software and training for digital human modeling and simulation will pay big divide

30、nds. We must keep in mind that, while the future may belong to those who plan, it also belongs to those who implement processes, such as digital human model- ing, that improve the speed, quality, and effectiveness of how we think and what we produce for mankind. In this book, Don Chaffin explores va

31、rious examples of how digital human modeling has been implemented in different fields. Because these studies show both the promise and the problems associated with this emerging tech- nology, they provide a good foundation for further development in this impor- tant field. Accordingly, they should b

These individuals willingly volunteered their time to produce the seven well-written

34、 and nicely illustrated case studies. Without their extra efforts this book would not have been possible. Of course for any writing project such as this there is always a group of people who are essential to producing a document that clearly expresses the intent of the authors. At the University of

35、Michigan, Patricia Terrell collected the manuscripts and expertly organized the figures and tables. I also would like to acknowledge Michael Biferno, Manager of Human Factors at the Boeing Company Phantom Works. Mikes outstanding leadership of the SAE G13 Committee on Human Modeling Technology and S

36、tandards led to the conceptualization of this book. During the meetings of this committee a project was developed to write the book. Without the G13 organization it would have been very difficult to assemble the people involved and the topics presented in the book. Lastly I would like to thank my colleagues at the Center for Ergonomics at the University of Michigan for supporting my time on this project over the last two years. Don Chaffin July 2000 xiii
