The design process that involves the application of HF/E principles and knowledge strives to achieve the above goals and, at the same time, reduce the risk of product malfunction or failure, reduce the potential for accidents, and contribute to overall product acceptance and utility, all while reducing the total product life cycle cost. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, as designing consumer products that satisfy human needs and expectations is not an easy task. No matter how simple or complex, to perform their expected functions in a safe, reliable, and efficient manner.
HF/E-based design of products encompasses a wide variety of consumer preferences, and accounts for differences in such preferences due to factors such as age, gender, or health issues.Įvery day, we interact with thousands of consumer products.

As such, HF/E aids designers by raising their awareness of the full scope of knowledge required when designing consumer products, and plays an important role in facilitating a better performance of consumer products in general. The HF/E discipline promotes a holistic, human-centered approach that considers physical, cognitive, social, organizational, environmental, and other design-relevant factors. Human factors and ergonomics (HF/E) is a unique and far-reaching discipline that focuses on the nature of human-artifact interactions, which are viewed from a unified perspective on science, engineering, design, technology, and management of human-compatibility systems (Karwowski 2005).
