Abstract

To understand how industrial designers, take into account "HFE" in the early design phase, we
surveyed in more than 50 companies. We analyzed their design work and evaluate if they need to
use a new structured method. On the one hand, to provide a real image to understand what is going
in the companies, what they do, use and how they answer this problem. On the other, in to study
the applicability of the proposed method. The answers show us that there are no systematic methods
and tools that integrate "HFE" in the early design phase. Hence the importance of such a method.
22 companies want to work with us to improve their methods.
