The Organizational Efficiency through Automation: An Ergonomics Issue

Abstract

Surviving and growing in a world characterized by competitiviness in a global scale and by continued and unexpected changes, has been a paradigm for the organizations. With the globalization process, which is a reality, the technological evolution and the complexity of the modern world, new needs have appeared in the working position realm. The concrete fact is that transformations alter the work-man, man-machine, man-productive system relations besides the kinds of workers. The man-machine relation is really important in the organizational environment because the technological advances may motivate the worker as well as scare and unqualify him So, no ergonomics analysis through working signs may be an excellent tool to help in the adaptation of the worker to the working position and also detect and settle the points which must be emphasized and modified to obtain the organizational efficiency.
