Abstract

This paper looks at the quality control task from human factors standpoint. It presents critical human factor issues which is considered can greatly enhance the productivity of the inspector. Various planning issues pertaining to the quality inspection workstation design are also outlined. Since humanbeing plays a vital role in an inspection task and assuming that most workplaces are designed with task in mind rather than the human, therefore, the capabilities and limitations of the human if not incorporated into the design could lead to the acceptance of poor items and rejection of good ones. Possibility of physical injuries fatigue and boredom etc. will also be prevalent in these workplaces.
