Abstract
The Human Factors Group at Kodak Park has been actively studying industrial jobs for ten years. Some of the most useful techniques of analysis are provided by the discipline of work physiology. This approach can be used: 1. To decide if a specific job is within the physical capabilities of people. 2. To decide which of two proposed methods is easier. 3. To evaluate in laboratory simulations the demands that will be posed by new jobs while they are still in the design stage. 4. To determine if a specific individual is able to perform certain jobs. 5. To rank jobs according to physical difficulty for wage and salary purposes. These applications are illustrated by discussing studies of actual industrial jobs.
