Abstract
A workstation design and implementation project can be poured with infinite decisions. An ergonomic approach to industrial design aimed at improving health and comfort to a large workforce has the potential to materialize many ergonomic concepts and ideas and turn them tangible. A new workstation demand from a multinational company will be the project’s setting, and the opportunity to wield knowledge, gathered and learned, from multiple disciplines; and to learn from our mistakes regarding the project’ process. This paper will illustrate the process from demand to implementation going through the methodology, decisions and challenges.
