Description

...and now for another Human Factors Minute!

Macroergonomic analysis of structure (MAS) is a method that analyzes the structure of work systems according to their compatibility with unique sociotechnical aspects.

According to this methodology, the structure of a work system is conceptualized as having three core dimensions: complexity, formalization, and centralization.

The analytical method also focuses onthe degree of differentiation and integration, job standardization, and the extent to which decision-making authority is shared.

The analysis provides guidance on how to correct the structure for more optimal work system functioning. This can help identify how to refine the work system’s processes and ultimately improve successful human
factors and ergonomics design, intervention, or implementation.
