Abstract
This chapter presents a hypothetical model that studies the relationship between tasks, as a macroergonomic factor, and the performance of manufacturing work systems. More specifically, the model studies how Work Demands, a macroergonomic element of the Task factor, can be associated with performance variables such as Customers, Production Processes, and Organizational Performance. As in previous chapters, the data used to develop and test the model were collected among Mexican manufacturing companies located in Chihuahua. Results revealed that Work Demands are an essential element to increase competitiveness since they have significant effects on performance variables. Similarly, we found that Customers and Production Processes play a role in Organizational Performance.
