Macroergonomic anticipatory evaluation of work organization in production systems

Abstract The problem of anticipation—awareness of consequences of design alternatives—is structured in a hierarchical scheme of predictive and simulative approaches in work science. For the anticipatory evaluation of work organization sets of dependent and independent variables are connected in analytical and simulative models for control centres and design departments, in procedural and participative approaches to group work in the automotive industry, and in programmatical design concepts for direct manufacturing and assembly departments and for indirect functions in operations planning and scheduling. The analytical, procedural, and programmatical approaches are bound together in a method to evaluate anticipatory group work concepts for production systems.
