Packed with illustrations and practical examples, Guide to Methodology in Ergonomics: Designing for Human Use, Second Edition provides a concise introduction to ergonomics methods in a straightforward manner that helps you conduct an ergonomics analysis of a product in development. It details the execution of 12 ergonomics methods that can be applied to the design of any type of product or interface. The authors stress the role of ergonomics in reducing device interaction time and user error while improving user satisfaction and device usability.

This book includes broad coverage of production and associated services. Since the success of manufacturing operations depends on the demand information and costs and revenue, qualitative and quantitative techniques of demand forecasting and also financial analysis are covered in this book. Topics such as facilities layout, inventory, project management, production, planning and management are explained in detail. Additional topics include quality control and work study.

This book offers analytical methods for studying human work in ergonomics and psychology that are similar to ones utilized by the engineering sciences. SSAT offers not only new qualitative but also formalized and quantitative methods of analysis. This book will describe quantitative methods of task complexity and reliability assessment, application of queuing theory, etc. The book will also present new data in the area of efficiency of labor force and its evaluation.

The RIBA Plan of Work 2013 Guide: Design Management is part of a brand new series providing must-read practical guidance to running efficient and successful projects using the new RIBA Plan of Work 2013. Each guide takes a core project task - in this case managing information exchanges - and explains the essential activities and considerations required at each stage of the new Plan of Work.

Easy to use and navigate and in a small and handy format these guides will provide the ultimate quick reference support at your desk or on site. The author provides concise and pragmatic advice...

Overview

CNC Trade Secrets is from the author of the bestselling and universally praisedMachine Shop Trade Secrets. This new manual does for CNC machining what the first book did for conventional machining.

With this guide to proven CNC machine shop practices, you will be producing machine parts faster, with fewer errors, and with less labor. You'll discover that you don't have to know "everything there is to know" to make parts on CNC machines - just as, for example, you don't have to know everything about Microsoft Word to write a letter. Whether...
