An ergonomist however may not be able to establish much worth of human factors know how in the context of global need because of the professional boundary of ergonomics is based on multidisciplinary research and studies. For professional satisfaction, it can be argued that there are assumptions that potential benefit will be acquired if ergonomics criteria or human factors issues are uniformly applied to all the systems required. In this regard, an ergono
