Abstract
Good ergonomic design is a very important parameter for any product. When designing a human control product, the ergonomics factors should be satisfied to make a product that will not harm the user. Considering that ergonomic factors in the design process are important, this paper presents a design methodology for developing ergonomic products. The ultimate goal of this research is to design and produce a new type of a park bench. A survey has been conducted based on Quality Function Deployment. A 3D-CAD model of the desired park bench was developed from the concept, and various human factor aspects were evaluated in Siemens Jack Ergonomics Software with digital manikins representing anthropometric data to justify the design for users.
