✦ Synopsis

There are some traditional ways for instruction and training in ergonomics, for example the academic method or the empirical way of self-taught practitioners.

This report deals with experiences where a lucky chance happened and the idea of ergonomics arose from the management and became an inspiration of the whole plant.
