Abstract
Ergonomics plays a critical role in the design and optimization of industrial production systems by aligning the physical and cognitive capabilities of workers with the demands of their tasks. This article explores how ergonomic principles can enhance productivity, reduce work-related injuries, and improve worker satisfaction. By integrating ergonomic considerations into industrial system design—ranging from workstation layouts to automation interfaces—organizations can foster sustainable and human-centered production environments. The paper further presents evidence-based design strategies and highlights the long-term economic and operational benefits of ergonomic interventions in industrial settings.
