Abstract

Universal design is an approach to design daily used products that are usable by all people to the greatest possible extent. However, successful application of universal design requires an understanding of human performance. Ergonomic considerations are a part of "universal design" and should be taken into account by manufacturing engineers in product development. Integration of ergonomic considerations into the manufacturing processes becomes a major marketing strategy. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is intended to explore the relationship between body dimensions and the "height" of consumer products. A "user/product/effect" model is proposed to study how to design "height" into products and the results are discussed.
