UPCOMING EVENTS Systematic methods in complex and digitalized manufacturing: webinar series. 25 January 2025, 15h00 UTC This webinar is the first part of the Webinar Series: Systemic Methods in Complex and Digitalized Manufacturing, showcasing applied and analytical modeling research using FRAM and STAMP-STPA. The webinar is presented by members of the IEA Resilience Engineering Committee. The series focuses on applications in complex and digitalized manufacturing environments, including scenarios with complex manual work, digital gloves, smart glasses, and cobots. In particular, the intervention explores how methods like AcciMap and STAMP can enhance quality and safety strategies by considering the entire sociotechnical ecosystem. Drawing from a year-long project in an aerospace manufacturing facility, where the team engaged closely with multiple stakeholders at various organizational levels, we demonstrate the value of these methodologies in providing a comprehensive understanding of complex systems and identifying control failures. The discussion will encourage broader reflection on how applying these methods can support resilient and efficient practices in modern manufacturing environments. We emphasize their relevance in optimizing processes, reducing errors, and promoting continuous improvement through innovative approaches. Zoom Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iuNvcvhpTuyoj7StDzvfZg Informal Work and Ergonomics: Experiences from Chile and Ecuador. 29 January 2025, 16h00 UTC This webinar organized by the IEA Informal Work TC in collaboration with the Universidad de Atacama and the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador will present an overview of the situation of informal work in Latin America with emphasis on Chile and Ecuador and then delve into specific case examples from both countries. The cases presented focus on the use of human factors and ergonomics methodologies and their utility to diagnose the situation and identify opportunities for transformation of work. The results of these experiences will be discussed to address aspects ranging from the logic of socio-technical reorganization and public policy to the adaptation of tools and design applications focused on precarious work Zoom Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_NQ9izhDjSsyIl2PtzsQbhQ Ergonomics and Human Factors 2025: Enhancing Human Performance: 28-30 April 2025 The Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors is organising a flagship conference for Ergonomics and Human Factors.

Important Dates Submissions open: 15 January, 2025 Early bird registration opens: February, 2025 Submissions close: 31 March, 2025 Outcome notifications to authors: 15 May, 2025 Early bird registration closes: 15 June, 2025 For more information, please visit the conference website: https://www.ufrgs.br/resilience/ PUBLICATIONS FROM IEA2024 The following two announcements come from IEA2024 Publication chair Yongku Kong Progress on the IEA2024 Proceeding Book Series The IEA2024 conference exceeded expectations with significantly higher participation and paper submissions than initially anticipated. With 510 papers submitted, far surpassing our initial estimate, the IEA2024 publications team renegotiated our agreement with Springer to extend the proceeding series to Volume 7, to allow publishing all 510 papers in the proceeding book. Subsequently, Springer provided us with four official template files: the final PDF, final Word document, signed consent form, and third-party content declaration form. Authors were instructed to submit their finalized versions by November 30. As of December 10th, files for over 320 papers were received. Assuming the remaining 180 manuscripts and associated files are received by mid-December, the first phase of the proceeding book preparation will be complete Progress on the IEA2024 Special Issues Based on the finalized submissions included in the proceeding book, professors on the Publications Committee are overseeing the special issues. These members will carefully review the submitted papers to evaluate their suitability for the respective journals. Recommendations will then be forwarded to the corresponding special issue editors for consideration. Since the review process for the special issues is contingent upon the finalized proceeding book submissions, work on the special issues will commence in earnest from mid-January 2025. SPOTLIGHT ON IEA TECHNICAL COMMITTEES (TC) After featuring the Ergonomics and Design for All TC in our previous issue, in this edition we turn our focus to the Anthropometry Technical Committee. The Anthropometry TC was established to advance the understanding and sharing of anthropometric knowledge. The committee supports researchers by promoting the dissemination of methodologies that ensure comparability across anthropometric surveys and studies. Prioritizing standardized methods and best practices, the Anthropometry TC aims to ensure the repeatability and reproducibility of measurement protocols as well as the analysis and synthesis of anthropometric data. This enables the application of human body dimensions and morphological variability to the ergonomic design of products and environments, considering factors such as inclusivity, comfort, fit, performance, and safety. Importance of the Anthropometry TC The understanding of anthropometric measurements and measurement protocols is crucial to effectively design products and environments for improved safety, performance and well-being. The scope of the Anthropometry TC encompasses research and knowledge spanning from data acquisition to its application in ergonomic assessment and design. This includes: - Anthropometric measurement tools, including manual anthropometry and body scanning technologies, as well as comparisons between manual and digital methods
- Anthropometric measurements methodologies and protocols, considering factors such as errors, repeatability and reproducibility
- Anatomical models for defining body landmarks and measurements tailored to various applications
- 3D/4D data pre-processing techniques
- Multivariate analysis 1D and 3D data and synthesis for ergonomic applications
- Development of generative body shape models
- Application of anthropometry to product fit and sizing, including fit testing, evaluation and optimization
The goals of the Anthropometry TC for 2024/2027 are as follows: - Organize annual webinars on Anthropometry, guided by a comprehensive dissemination plan, to ensure diverse topics and global outreach
- Foster enhanced member engagement by establishing sub-committees focused on specialised areas, which will contribute to the development of webinars, training sessions, and other knowledge-sharing initiatives
- Develop an on-site workshop or training course aligned with the IEA2027 conference, incorporating practical and theoretical anthropometric applications to provide a holistic learning experience
TECHNICAL COMMITTEES (TCs): The IEA’s Technical Committees (TCs) are ad-hoc special interest groups that are formed as a platform to exchange up-to-date information on and discuss a particular HFE field. More information is available at: https://iea.cc/leadership/technical-committees/ Inactive TCs If a TC becomes inactive or is without leadership, that TC will be removed from the website listing. There are currently 6 inactive TCs. • Aerospace • Ageing and Work • Agriculture • Ergonomics in Manufacturing • Mining • Work with Computing Systems If you would like to lead one of these TCs, please contact stpchair@iea.cc. If no new leadership is designated, the content of these sections of the IEA.cc website will be removed as of 30 January, 2025. TC Creation Reminder: If you, with at least 5 colleagues, share a passion for a particular special interest area which does not exist as a Technical Committee (TC) and you wish to create a new TC, please contact stpchair@ iea.cc for formalizing this. The process is easy and free! TECHNICAL COMMITTEES (TCs) SIGN UP SHEET The IEA Technical Committees (TCs) are seeking to expand their membership and invite new members from federated societies. To facilitate this, we have created a sign-up form that provides an overview of the role of Technical Committees, including their four primary functions. By completing the form, you can express your interest in joining up to two TCs. Once submitted, TC administrators will review your submission and reach out for further details. Sign-up form for Technical Committees: https://forms.gle/mMpZ9V9PhBGHPBHQ6 Joining a TC is free and there are no qualifying criteria (just that you are a member of a federated society) to join and to participate. You can also join more than one TC if your interests are broader. A list of the TCs can be found on the IEA’s website: https://iea.cc/leadership/technical-committees/. You are always welcome to reach out to TC chairs in addition. |
