As India moves towards the "Vision 2047" in a quest for a better future, there is a growing need for the design of technology and infrastructure to enable well-being, safety, and productivity for Indians. Human Factors and Ergonomics is one discipline that supports the well-being of people in terms of design, maintenance, management, regulation, and governance of technology. Due to the lack of disciplinary programs that address the totality of the discipline, there is a need for capacity building in the academic sector for trainingthe next generation of practitioners. This sample syllabus, while covering the breadth of the discipline, also provides a foundation for Indian universities to fulfil the requirements of Human Factors and Ergonomics. This syllabus can be creatively adapted to suit specific master's programs in science, engineering, technology, and design. This syllabus provides a basis for a holistic academic program that supports the next generation of learners in India.

Es hat auch einen Platz in den Bibliotheken von Fachleuten verdient, die in den Bereichen Designtechnik, angewandte Psychologie und Mensch-Computer-Interaktion tätig sind, sowie von Leitern von Konstruktions- und Technikabteilungen, Sicherheitsfachleuten und Industriehygienikern.

Work Organization and Methods Engineering for Productivity provides an introduction to, and practical advice on, assessing methods of working to achieve maximum output and efficiency. The main focus of the book is on the ‘work study’, which helps to increase the productivity of men, machines and materials. We are currently seeing a lot of disruptive advancement in industrial operations caused by technologies, including artificial intelligence and IoT. Against this technological backdrop, and with ever increasing focus on value, the fundamental understanding of how to analyze and organize the workplace for productivity is more important than ever. Case studies and illustrations throughout make this book a much have for managers with responsibility for production and planning in industry. Helps the reader understand the fundamental factors affecting productivity, along with their relevance to work organization Includes valuable industry case studies from sectors including manufacturing, textile production and sea port operations Includes several formats and charts that are important in the recording of data for practical work studies

The previous edition of the International Encyclopedia of Ergonomics and Human Factors made history as the first unified source of reliable information drawn from many realms of science and technology and created specifically with ergonomics professionals in mind. It was also a winner of the Best Reference Award 2002 from the Engineering Libraries Division, American Society of Engineering Education, USA, and the Outstanding Academic Title 2002 fromChoice Magazine. Not content to rest on his laurels, human factors and ergonomics expert Professor Waldemar Karwowski has overhauled his standard-setting resource, incorporating coverage of tried and true methods, fundamental principles, and major paradigm shifts in philosophy, thought, and design. Demonstrating the truly interdisciplinary nature of this field, these changes make the second edition even more comprehensive, more informative, more, in a word, encyclopedic. Keeping the format popularized by the first edition, the new edition has been completely revised and updated. Reflecting the copious amount of new information provided, the Handbook has been divided into three volumes. Organized into 13 sections and arranged alphabetically within each section, the entries provide a clear and simple outline of the topics as well as precise and practical information. The book reviews applications, tools, and innovative concepts related to ergonomic research. Technical terms are defined (where possible) within entries as well as in a glossary. Students and professionals will find this format invaluable, whether they have ergonomics, engineering, computing, or psychology backgrounds. The simply formatted, easy-to-use CD provides quick access to reliable information from the many realms of science and technology contributing to the body of knowledge of design for human use. Experts and researchers will also find the print and CD combination an excellent source of information on areas beyond the range of their direct interests. Features · Provides a definitive source of information for the field of ergonomics and human factors · Supplies concise, practical entries, an in-depth glossary, and a complete bibliography · Includes contributions from leading experts under the guidance of the Distinguished Advisory Board · Presents a thorough discussion of a wide range of conceptual, technical, theoretical, and application-oriented topics

Book Description: Ergonomic design is an applicative part of ergonomics, which deals with the adjustment and adaptation of design solutions for various objects and systems according to the user's needs, such as technical products or other products for daily use. The application of ergonomics in product design contributes to the creation of new solutions that are comfortable, safe, efficient, and which contribute to the satisfaction of customers. In this book, certain topics that were not previously treated from the ergonomic aspect are represented. In this regard, topics related to the ergonomic design of certain furniture elements and traffic route evaluation can be pointed out. For the first time collectively, the interdependence of ergonomics, safety and aesthetics in relation to the design of consumer products and certain systems are considered. Also, the original method for assessing the comfort of bus interiors that are intended for the public transport of passengers is also presented. In the larger part of the publication, the emphasis is on the original approach in solving various problems of ergonomic design as well as the evaluation of products and systems. Although this publication retains an academic agenda, special attention is devoted to the applicability of the publication in terms of its accessibility and understandability for the general population. Target Audience: The book is primarily intended for researchers and experts in the field of ergonomics who want to familiarize themselves with the latest knowledge in the field of Ergonomics. Also, it is intended for students who want to expand their knowledge in this field. In addition, due to the applicative nature of this book, it is intended for a wide audience, primarily for designers and manufacturers of different products, as well as for designers of complex systems.
