Gaspar, J.F., Teixeira, A.P., Santos, A.M.P., Guedes Soares, C., Golyshev, P. e Kahler, N. (2019), “Human Centered Design methodology: case study of a ship-mooring winch”, International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, Vol. 74, pp. 102-861-1 - 102-861-12

This paper proposes a human centered design process for the marine industry to support naval architects and marine engineers in the integration of human element considerations in the design of ship systems. The proposed Human Centered Design methodology derives from codes and standards, including those for equipment certification. A case study, consisting of the design of a mooring winch and control station, is developed to illustrate the proposed approach. The referred case study is selected since a significant number of fatal accidents and severe injuries occur during mooring operations. Furthermore, the results of a human centered intervention on the identified deficiencies should be easily perceived by industry stakeholders, thereby increasing the stakeholder’s willingness to integrate the human element in systems design. To this end, design deficiencies identified in the mooring workspace and control station of a containership are first presented. Afterwards, two control panel layouts are recommended following the proposed Human Centered Design approach. A preliminary assessment of the control panel layouts regarding their compliance with existing standards and guidelines is carried out. Additionally, this study indicates that mooring workspace and equipment design deficiencies are related to the limited deck space, which is primarily maximized for ship cargo.
