Industrial Ergonomics, 1/e by Khan,Khan M. I.,M I Pdf

Ergonomics (or human factors) as a discipline aims to design jobs, equipment and workplace to facilitate easy-to-use human "machine interfaces. This book presents the fundamental principles and practice of ergonomics in the industrial environment. It effectively covers the concepts, basic human physiology and human capabilities, analyzing the design of the workplace with suitable examples. The book explains muscular work and movements along with the relevant physiological principles. It describes practical guidelines for work layout and workplace design in relation to human body dimensions in order to optimize human well-being and working efficiency. Keeping in mind human capabilities and limitations to work efficiently and effectively, the book also discusses tools and techniques for skilled work, design principles of human "machine systems, and physiological and psychological effects of noise. In addition, it describes importance of indoor comfort and the various aspects of mental activity for maximum work efficiency. This book is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, and production and industrial engineering. It can also be useful to practising ergonomists as a ready reference.

Industrial Ergonomics in Apparel Manufacturing by Dr. Prabir Jana Pdf

‘Ergonomics’ in simple term means ‘the study of the efficiency of persons in their working environment’. Both in Europe and the United States, the use of principles to improve efficiency in the workplace began around the turn of the twentieth century, but it was only in 1949 when the term ‘ergonomics’ was first adopted. ‘Ergonomics’ is the science behind posture and risk analysis of workers, understanding the reasons for repetitive strain injuries and workplace re-engineering for a healthy and thus a productive organisation.

New Perspectives on Applied Industrial Ergonomics by Arturo Realyvásquez Vargas,Jorge Luis García-Alcaraz,Emigdio Z-Flores Pdf

This book reports the most recent, advanced, successful, and real applications of ergonomics in order to improve the human well-being and performance in a short term, as well as the organizational performance in a long term. The book is organized as follows: Physical Ergonomics. This section reports case studies where physical risk factors are presented in the workplace, such as physical risk factors including uncomfortable body postures, repetitive movements, force application, manual material handling, and physical environmental conditions. In addition, case studies must report applications from physical ergonomics methods, for instance, RULA, REBA, OWAS, NIOSH, JSI, Suzane Rodgers, ERIN, among others. Cognitive Ergonomics. This section reports the implementation of ergonomic tools, techniques, and methods in real case studies. These applications are aimed to know, decrease, and control cognitive and psychological risk factors, such as mental workload, information processing, situation awareness, human error identification, and interface analysis. These applications may include the following methods NASA-TLX, SWAT, CWA, SHERPA, HET, TAFEI, SAGAT, SART, SACRI, QUIS, SUMI, to mention a few of them. Macro-ergonomics. This section is focused on the analysis, design, and evaluation of work systems. It reports case studies where risk factors are beyond a specific workstation. These risk factors may include supervision styles, teamwork management, task variety, social relationships, organizational culture, organizational communication, technology, work schedules, and motivation, among others. In addition, case studies report the application of macro-ergonomic methods, such as MOQS, focus group, participatory ergonomics, HITOP, MAS, and MEAD, among others.
