Abstract: This study explains the ergonomics design and comparative analysis of chairs (waiting) at a health centre using anthropometric data and CATIA V5R20 software to perform finite element analysis (FEA) and determine the most efficient ergonomic design. From the collected data, the analysis was conducted based on percentiles; with the use of Excel. The modelling of the chairs was performed using its materials. FEA was also conducted for the designed waiting chairs to check, for stress, deformation and displacement. The human builder part of CATIA V5R20 was used to test, for the efficiency and the physical interaction across the user and the designed chair. The results obtained showed that computer-aided ergonomics design is not limited to anthropometric data collection, and designing of products. It is also a means of determining the quality of the designed product.
