Ergonomics is a partial objective for decision-making. It tries to lower the stress and strain that derives from the working site and to minimize the danger to be hurt by accidents or any occupational disease (it does not cover the option to spare a working site at all, when the reason is to spare the labor costs).

Together with its twin societal compatibility we can assess the social suitability that is one sub-objective to find the optimal option. Parallel to the social suitability we also should look at the economic and the ecological suitability. For more information about systematics of decision-making, look at objectives and three-step model of optimization.
