The authors present three approaches for justifying or selling human factors engineering activities to management of industries producing products for a highly competitive market. Usually management of such industries initially consider human factors activities as “frills” offering little potential return on investment, or worse, as potential contributors to increased unit cost. The approaches presented include: (1) justification on the basis of increased productivity, (2) justification on the basis of reduced non-productive time and overhead, and (3) justification on the basis of “you really oughta (gotta) wanta”. Methodologies for utilizing each of these approaches are discussed and suggestions are presented as to the types of situations in which each approach is most appropriate. The concepts presented are illustrated from the authors' experiences in attempting to implement human factors engineering activities in southeastern textile industry.
