Abstract

The current trend of design and re-design the man-machine systems takes into consideration numerous criteria, stemming from the man-machineenvironment system. A method for the ergonomic and systemic reconsideration of the man-machine system was developed within this context. The paper presents the theoretical considerations and arguments that were used for the establishment of a new re-design method and, also, an application that was made (re-design of the man-pressing machine system) for evaluating our work.
