Conceptual frames for changing production system design

Abstract

In order to integrate ergonomic aspects into the design of products and production systems many tools and procedures are available. For the ergonomists, however, it is a question of recognizing the organizational context and the role to play for making integration possible. Based on an understanding of design proc-esses as social processes we suggest a supplementary role for ergonomists: political agents. This might open up for a new understanding and thereby influence the priorities of ergonomics in enterprises.
