Abstract

Abstract: The ergonomic quality of the office chair is influenced by many factors, and evaluation indexes are different. Based on the theory and method of multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, and according to the analysis of "adaptability of chair and person", an index system for evaluating office chair ergonomics constructed by five first-class indexes and twenty-four second indexes is set up to make quantitative evaluations of the efficiency of office chair ergonomics. With this model, evaluation upon the expert experience on three different staff chairs A, B, C is made, and the results show that the ergonomic quality of A and B is in common, while C is on good level, which proves to be in accord with its actual situation. The examples show that this model is suitable for evaluating the level of ergonomics of the staff chair, and on the basis of the research, strategies for improvement are put forward.

Key words: fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, office chairs, ergonomic
