Dissertation note: Project paper (Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang - 2008 Abstract: Ergonomic is the application of scientific principles, methods and data to the development of products and systems that interact with human. A product may be ergonomically designed for a specific application. The product selected must be matched the characteristics of the required operations and the characteristics of the people who use the products. Correct sitting posture is an important factor for the prevention of musculoskeletal symptoms. Then, ergonomic furniture should be designed because it can reduce pain and injury, increase productivity, improve morale and decrease complaints. Office chair has been one of the most required furniture for over hundreds of years especially for office use.

At the end of this project, a new design of office is proposed by using Solid Work software. There are some improvements have been made to the some parts of existence office chair including back support, seat pan, armrest and seat height.
