We provide consulting services to companies to assist in creating user-friendly and ergonomically designed products.
**Features of Consulting** Rather than evaluating individual products or services, we strive to assess them in light of the various characteristics of the users. For example, items used by hand include razors, food wraps, food containers, sinks (including faucets), vacuum cleaners, and car handles. Some movements are specific to the product, while others are common across different products. By taking a holistic view of these, we can understand how the range of motion and exertion change with various hand movements, and evaluate products in contrast to this. This process can highlight areas for improvement in the product and may inspire ideas for new products. Although this task is quite complicated and challenging, we make every effort to approach it in this way. **Flow of Consulting Services** There are no specific features, but we follow the flow outlined below. ■ Order from the user ↓ ■ Evaluation experiments and analysis by monitors (from infants to the elderly and disabled) ↓ ■ Submission of report (evaluation results and improvement proposals) **Evaluation Techniques** We have included basic information on the specific characteristics of people we are looking at and how they relate to various products. Please take a moment to read it.
