As an important component of industrial engineering, human factors and ergonomics study the interaction between operators (workers) and machines/environment in the industrial settings. The current project will bring academic knowledge to Pro-Flange Ltd., a manufacturing company located in Cambridge, Ontario. The company has found problems related to human factors and ergonomics, such as defects caused by human errors, need for effective training, material handling issues, and hearing protection. The PI has expertise in this research area and can help transfer the knowledge to the company. During the six months of this project, the PI's team will work closely with engineers and machinists at Pro-Flange to analyze the problems, implement solutions, and measure performance after changes. Pro-Flange is in full support of this project and is eager to create their own knowledge bank about human factors and ergonomics. The results and the knowledge gained through this project will benefit Pro-Flange as well as the Canadian manufacturing industry in general.

作为工业工程的一个重要组成部分，人因学和人体工程学研究工业环境中操作员（工人）和机器/环境之间的相互作用。目前的项目将为位于安大略省剑桥市的制造公司pro -法兰有限公司带来学术知识。该公司发现了与人为因素和人体工程学相关的问题，如人为错误造成的缺陷，需要有效的培训，材料处理问题，听力保护等。PI在该研究领域具有专业知识，可以帮助将知识转移到公司。在这个项目的六个月里，PI团队将与pro -法兰的工程师和机械师密切合作，分析问题，实施解决方案，并在改变后测量性能。pro -法兰是全力支持这个项目，并渴望
