Integrating human factors in engineering studies
Optimize design project performance including engineering studies the relationship between humans and socio-technical factors.
-
Consider relations between human beings and the sociotechnical components of the workplace in view of planning for and controlling risks.
Involve future operators / users in design studies at the earliest possible stage in order to share design / manufacturing requirements with a potential impact on future operations.
Aim: ensure that all individuals play their role in terms of facility safety at all stages of the project.
Orano HOF (Human and Organisational Factors) teams are an integral part of design, modification and safety demonstration projects, but also provide support during facility operation.
HOF engineers adapt their input to the specific context and priorities for each project. In this respect, our experts:
- Observe working situations
- Discuss issues with operators
- Summarise discussions and observations
- Propose and assess potential improvements and the associated action plans
- Risk analysis related to human and organizational factors in the management of complex systems,
- UX design (User eXperience Design) / Human-Machine Interface design and control-command systems,
- Studies suitable for:
- Installation control room design,
- Layout of premises, design of workstations,
- Design of tools and equipment (mechanical systems, glove boxes, remote operation ...).
In order to optimize HOF and ergonomics studies, our engineers rely on innovative tools such as virtual reality, activity simulation systems, rapid mock-up.
Multidisciplinary skills (ergonomics, cognitive sciences, human physiology, sociology of organizations, etc.) make it possible to provide a flexible service, tailored to the specific needs of the client and implementing methods and tools adapted to their challenges.
To study your project, our team is composed of 16 specialists in ergonomics, UX design, HOF and sociology and 5 orano group experts.
- Financial gains: limiting cost design, rework, commissioning,
- Ensuring reliable facility operations
- Very substantial Return on Investment
- Help to mitigate resistance to change by involving future users
- Solutions for fitting out workstations and work situations adapted to organization challenges
- Consider the working conditions of your teams
