Ergonomics, Human Performance, and Fuzzy Logic
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2022) Özok, Ahmet Fahri; Endüstri Mühendisliği / Industrial Engineering
In scientific applications, we use ergonomic principles initially on the design of human-machine interfaces and in product design. The ergonomic design of the physical and psycho-social environment of Man-Machine Systems is also very important as they affect human performance. But in any case, we have to consider what human being pays if we ignore scientific principles to apply in every kind of Man-Machine System design. If we can group the complexity of interrelationships among different parameters in this type of system it gives us the opportunity to use fuzzy logic. For different kinds of human performance problems fuzzy logic seems to be very flexible to solve them.

How We Can Create an Ergonomic Culture in a Company: An Application in Turkey
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2016) Özok, Ahmet Fahri; Ozok, Ahmet Fahri; Endüstri Mühendisliği / Industrial Engineering
Nowadays, many organizations make a great effort to reduce workplace risk, prevent injuries and promote safety and awareness. As it is known, the emphasis is both muscular and mental work in Workstations, as well as the Occupational Health and Safety and foremost the work science that can be contributed is very important for the efficiency of ergonomics. When it comes to reducing ergonomic injuries-soft-tissue injuries, musculoskeletal disease and others that are extremely prevalent and costly for many companies-developing the correct culture is especially important. The aim of this study is to present an ergonomic culture implementation in a chemistry company in a city in Turkey. We implemented some ergonomic improvements in the company and we gave cultural seminars on ergonomics all blue color workers are participated in this theoretical and practical approach. Among the obtained results; Teaching of ergonomic principles to all employees are tested. Applications in pilot workstations are also checked to be satisfactory. By the way some ergonomic instruments are developed.

Mathematical Modelling and Fuzzy Logic
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2024) Ozok, Ahmet Fahri
Mathematical knowledge beginning with, very simple mathematical definitions to very complex expressions is necessary for mathematical modelling. The same reality is true for Fuzzy Logic. Researchers all over the world have to understand to some degree the fundamental concepts of advanced mathematics. Infinity, continuity, limit, theory of functions, symbolic logic, number theory, linear algebra, probability theory, and topology are some of these fundamental concepts. If any researcher without a sound mathematical background, applies only the Fuzzy Logic formulas, it will be very superficial. We have to keep in mind that to understand the mathematical philosophy of Fuzzy Logic, we must learn and digest a whole different area in mathematics. Like in every field of science understanding the main idea and philosophy of Fuzzy Logic is much more important than technical and operational features. Day by day the concept of Fuzzy Sets influences many different fields, particularly engineering systems, sociology, economy, semantics, data analysis, medicine, decision making, etc.
