Macroergonomics as a Way for Social Responsibility…
625
This article was limited to steps1 to 4 of the MA method. According to the premise
of participatory ergonomics, a solution’s proposal must take into consideration all
those involved, ensuring the best solution from the point of view of both employees
and organization. It is suggested to propose improvements together with employees,
management and ergonomics team. Engineering and other ergonomics tools can help
find optimal solutions by identifying the root cause of the highlighted problems. MA
acts in the social aspect of sustainable development, contemplating social responsibility, and, considering the economic aspect, applications of macroergonomics can
improve systems performance.
Finally, this study continuity is important in order to analyze possible changes;
simulate environmental changes at the organization and validate proposals based
on the analysis of the simulated changes of activities in a real work situation, what
corresponds to the fifth step of MA. Then, move to the sixth step, writing up the
ergonomic analysis report, the proposal of solutions to promote the optimization of
systems performance, with the collaboration of the ambulatory team. In order to meet
the tripod of sustainable development, the ecological aspect should be considered in
these solutions.
