The need to develop the key concepts of systems ergonomics is examined. The benefits of introducing architectural concepts into the high level set for systems ergonomics are presented in terms of an improved capability to address ergonomics issues of major systems. A brief review of the key concepts associated with systems ergonomics and systems architectures is carried out and a framework developed. This is exemplified with the architecture of a User’s workstation. Issues for future consideration are presented.
