Part of the book series: Management and Industrial Engineering ((MINEN))

Abstract

Measuring ergonomic compatibility has been a concern to many academics, industrialists, and health systems due to the economic implications involved. The goal of this chapter is to describe the most important factors that have been used to develop compatibility indices and to analyze the trends and methods that are most used for index generation, as well as their advantages and benefits.
