OUR FOCUS
Human Factors Engineering is the application of human factors knowledge to the design and construction of equipment, work systems, management systems and tasks. The objective of human factors engineering is to design and operate systems, processes and procedures that protect the comfort, health, safety and well-being of personnel and reduce the potential for human error, increase system availability, lower lifecycle costs, improve safety and enhance overall system performance.
Due to the interaction of people with the systems in any facility, human error is an inherent risk and needs to be managed accordingly. Most major accidents that have occurred in history have been due to human error and in recent times there has been increased emphasis and focus in this field.
Human Factors Engineering involves designing systems, processes and procedures taking into account human factors to minimise human failures. This encompasses various aspects such as anthropometry, ergonomics, cognition, psychology, psychophysics, situational awareness, incident investigations, emergency response, human resource management, human performance management and human factors assessments.
At MQR Engineering Solutions we have the technical expertise to take the human factors engineering aspects of your facility to the next level. We specialise in various aspects of human factors engineering, which are imperative for optimising productivity and efficiency in your facility.

Safety Engineering is an applied science that focuses on the protection of people, plant and the environment. Its focal point is the prevention of accidents, which can be very costly, both in terms of human lives as well as economically.
This is achieved by performing hazard analyses and safety assessments in order to identify and eliminate potential safety hazards. In the real world it is often not possible to completely eliminate a hazard, especially those that are inherent in the materials or processes being used. The hazards are therefore managed by designing systems with safety engineering measures in order to manage the risk of the potential hazard from realising.
Safety Engineering is a key aspect throughout the entire lifecycle of any project or facility, starting at product conceptualisation and design, to construction and commissioning, to the actual operation of the plant, and ultimately to the decommissioning of the facility.
At MQR Engineering Solutions we have the technical expertise to take the safety of your facility to the next level. We specialise in safety engineering and you can rest assured that your investment in this regard will contribute notably to the sustainability of your facility.

Process Engineering focuses on the design, operation, control and optimisation of systems and processes in order to convert raw materials into an end product or commodity. The processes may be chemical, physical or biological, spanning diverse range of industries such as chemical, agriculture, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, nuclear, food and biotechnology.
Process Engineering is actively involved during all the stages of a continuous production process and can be divided into various disciplines such as process design, process control, process operations, process optimisation, process validation and process economics.
After production conceptualisation, Process Engineering involves the development of a repeatable process and the design of the system to support the process to produce an end product.
Once the system becomes operational, one of the key aspects of process engineering is process optimisation, which is the adjustment of the process parameters to make the process as effective as possible without violating any constraints. The main purpose of this is to minimise cost while maximising throughput and efficiency. Maximisation of efficiency has a positive impact on safety as well, since it maximises the utilisation of materials and resources whilst minimising the generation of waste.
At MQR Engineering Solutions we have the technical expertise to take the process of your facility to the next level. We specialise in design baseline development and process optimisation, which are key to make your facility more efficient and sustainable.

Systems Engineering is an engineering discipline which focuses on creating and executing an interdisciplinary process to ensure that the customer and stakeholder's needs are satisfied in a high quality, trustworthy, cost efficient and schedule compliant manner throughout a system's entire life cycle. (INCOSE)
It focuses on defining customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle, documenting requirements, proceeding to design synthesis and system validation, while considering the complete problem: operations, performance, testing, manufacturing, cost and schedule, training, support and disposal.
It enables the realisation of successful systems by integrating all engineering disciplines into a team effort, forming a structured development process that proceeds from concept to operation. Systems Engineering considers both the business and the technical needs of the customer with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user requirements.
Systems Engineering involves various aspects such as requirements analysis, specification development, architecture definition, change management, system validation, configuration management and system integration.
At MQR Engineering Solutions we have the technical expertise to take the systems of your facility to the next level. We specialise in various aspects of systems engineering, which are effective in launching successful systems in your facility.
