Why We're the Right Choice
Human Factors is Our Only Specialty
At Humansystems®, our consultants focus solely on Human Systems Integration and solving Human Factors challenges. Human Factors, Ergonomics and Human Systems Integration is not just one of our services, it is our only service.

Full Range of Human Factors Services
Whether working on the Human System Integration challenges for a ship or a shoe, HSI® Human Factors consultants are there to help clients develop, purchase or upgrade the product that best enables users to do their job safely, productively and effectively.

HSI® offers a complete range of Human Factors services. Our twenty-plus years of experience across a range of Industry, Defence and other sectors give us the skills and expertise to focus those services economically and effectively on your unique needs.

Our in-house Human Factors consultants combined with a wide network of Associate specialists in different areas can offer you unparalleled access to Human Factors knowledge about how to integrate people and technology to achieve the best performance, safely.

Independent, Objective and Trustworthy Solutions
Every client has different requirements, so each project is unique. Our goal is to provide you with quality solutions tailored to your needs that are practical, objective, and independent. HSI® Human Factors consultants are not under any obligation to any specific supplier or solution. This means we can offer the most cost effective approach to fulfil your particular goals

Strong Relationships
We build strong, positive relationships with our clients, our Associates and our staff. Everyone at HSI® will do their utmost to give you the best service we can provide.

  • We will make sure we understand your goals; lay out realistic options together with their relative costs, their benefits, limitations and timelines. We will make practical, objective recommendations for a cost effective approach to achieve your goals and then carry out your directions promptly.
  • You will get accurate progress reports at the intervals you want, easy to understand reports on the project as a whole, and objective and practical recommendations.
  • We will ask for your feedback on how we are doing to make sure we are on track.
Effective Teamwork
Inter-disciplinary teamwork is essential for effective Human Systems Integration during any procurement, development or design project. The program / project may include engineers, programmers, designers, manufacturers, scientists, and interest groups - as well as HSI® Human Factors consultants.
  • For a primarily user-focused project, HSI® can lead the work and manage the overall project to harmonize the efforts of other technical specialties.
  • Where Human Factors is not the primary focus, HSI® consultants know how to dove-tail their Human System Integration efforts with the efforts of others.
Either way, HSI® has the people and the experience to be an effective team member.

Systems Design Approach
HSI® Human Factors consultants are experienced with iterative Spiral Design.

For each step in the process, there are established Human Factors tools and methods (some upgraded with software) to analyse user needs, set measures of human performance, allocate functions to people or technologies, design the interface for the best Human / System integration, and evaluate procurement or design options.
