Abstract Due to the demographic change, the requirements of generation Y as well as the rising proportion of women, the automobile industry is facing new challenges. The reduction of physical stress and the improvement of the workplace attractiveness are of special importance. In order to face these challenges in an active way, the AUDI AG initiated the ergonomics strategy “Wir für uns. Aktiv in die Zukunft“ in 2013. The goal of the field of action „The workplace of the future“ within the ergonomics strategy is the identification, pilot testing and development up to serial production readiness of new ergonomics tools. The active involvement of affected employees is highly important for the acceptance of ergonomics tools. In this context Audi started diverse projects in 2014 which will be discussed in detail below.
