Systemic design
Research and work focus
Error management & accident analysis Identification of causal factors and correlations by means of well-founded and cross-industry methods (CAHR); identify design potential: person-related training and sensitization, organizational design measures, application possibilities of technology and automation, dissemination of lessons learned, compliance with guidelines (VDI 4006).
Human reliability Quantitative determination of human error probabilities, systemic analyses of performance-influencing factors - inclusion of organizational, technical and person-related cause factors, determination and evaluation of behavioral variability
Risk modeling Hazard assessments, Quantitative assessment of human reliability in complex workplaces (e.g., process industry, aviation, railroad) and for manufacturing activities; interface with quality assurance
Age(n)-appropriate work design Adaptation of workplaces to demographic change, development of changed requirement profiles, ergonomic optimization, decision and perception support systems, determination of optimal, sustainable physical and mental stress at the workplace, use of modern measurement methods and interaction concepts (motion capturing, brain activity, eye tracking)
