The success of organizations comes from creating an ideal work environment, and human engineering performs this ambition to the fullest, because it has proven its efficiency in this field. Hence, we present a model for human engineering in Diyala State Company in order to achieve value for engineering the quality of its products and production processes. The research adopted two methods, the first represented by presenting an intellectual and philosophical framework about its variables, in which it dealt with the independent variable (human engineering) in four dimensions: human engineering: (physical, environmental, organizational, and cognitive), and the two dependent variables are: (product quality engineering, and production process engineering). As for the applied method, it adopted the descriptive analytical approach in order to verify the correlation and influence relationships between the variables by testing four main hypotheses. The data was collected from 271 individuals who were randomly selected and varied between managers of departments, units or employees of the company. The research also relied on the questionnaire as the main measurement tool, and used a number of tests to ensure its validity and stability, as well as descriptive and inferential statistical methods to answer questions and interpret the results. This is due to the necessity of paying attention to all dimensions of human engineering, as well as adopting the research model because of its impact on increasing the quality engineering of its products and production processes.
