N2 - The aim of the present case study is to present and evaluate a computer-based standardized procedure to order, perform and document virtual ergonomic analyses. Results showed that the use of the new working methodology increased the number of factors considered during analysis. Participants indicated that the proposed methodology, including task analysis and use of manikin families, would increase the reliability of the results. The increase in numbers of factors considered during analysis and the improved reliability of the results is also likely to reduce the number of iterations needed in the design process to make products meet established requirements, therefore reducing total development time.
