Usernomics can work with your company to develop Human Factors Design and Analysis.
Human Factors ContributionWhen designing hardware or software, Human Factors must be considered during the planning stage and throughout the project. Too often, Human Factors is considered only at the end-stages of product design. This results in either costly changes or reluctance to change the design. In many cases, good technology is not readily accepted because the product is not easy to use or efficient to use. A product's usability, acceptance, and marketability are often dependent on the user feeling that it is easy to learn and use. Optimized Human Factors Design increases the learning speed, efficiency, and comfort level with a product, which translates into product acceptance and use. You need both good technology and usability for a successful product launch.
Usernomics can assist your company with effective Human Factors design. We can help to make your product usable, effective, and accepted by end users. Your product's design will benefit from a systematic user-centered Human Factors approach culminating in empirical Usability Testing.
We apply a rigorous and systematic technique when applying Human Factors to product design. This process culminates in empirical testing to ensure that the design achieves the intended result. In addition, our Human Factors design is distinguished by our additional expertise in designing user-centered products and procedures that benefit from User Interface Design, Instructional Design, and Usability Testing.
Usernomics' Engineering Psychologists and Human Factors Specialists focus on designing usable products, while our Instructional Psychologists focus on enabling users to efficiently learn to use them. This permits us to view Human Factors as part of a cycle for making products usable: user-friendly design / aesthetic appeal / user knowledge / user productivity / user acceptance.
While product engineers focus on technology, we focus on the end-user. Our Human Factors methodology is user-centered with an emphasis on a systematic methodology for creating products that are easy to learn, easy to use, and aesthetically pleasing. We work with design engineers to integrate our Human Factors design into the overall product design for greater efficiency. Our role is to merge technology with the creation of usable software, hardware, and systems.
We are happy to apply our expertise to projects varying from high tech consumer products to larger systems... computer software and hardware to aircraft and automobiles.
