Kevin B. Bennett and John M. Flach

An important addition to the literature in aviation psychology, this book presents psychological principles and research pertinent to the interface between a pilot and the cockpit. Understanding the cognitive demands and the capabilities and limitations of the pilot has important implications on selection and training of pilots and display/control designs in the cockpit. The book examines scientific methods for achieving this understanding together with the view that theories and principles of human behavior would have much to learn from practical problems and applied studies.

While there are many books available that address display design, most of them focus on aesthetic principles but lack scientific rigor, or are descriptive but not prescriptive. This book elucidates an overarching framework for design that can be applied to the broad spectrum of existing domains. The authors delineate analytical tools and principles of design that are general and powerful, but very abstract, accompanied by concrete examples of their use in a variety of domains of application. The book includes access to a web site containing examples of the dynamic properties of displays.

Edited by

Catherine M. Burns University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Michael A. Regan, John D. Lee and Kristie L. Young

Despite continued interest in Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) there is no upto-date book in the area and none which comprehensively documents the use of these methods in real world applications. This is a critical shortcoming as more cognitive engineers and human factors professionals seek to use CWA methods in their own work. This book demonstrates how these often complicated methods can be applied in complex, real-world design contexts, subject to constraints of cost, time, and information. It shows how, when, and where CWA techniques can be integrated into the systems engineering design process and provides concrete evidence for the value that the CWA approach provides.

A practical resource for understanding, preventing, and managing driver distraction, this book outlines the underlying theory of distraction, its effects on driving performance and safety, strategies for mitigating its effects, and directions for future research. It also brings together the wide array of literature on the topic into one, all-inclusive, volume. The book reviews the full range of distracting activities that occur while driving and recommends ways to manage distraction through enhanced data collection and analysis, driver education and training, driver licensing, legislation and enforcement, vehicle design, road design, company policies, and future research.

Design for Reliability provides a systematic approach to the design process that is sharply focused on reliability and firmly based on the physics of failure. It imparts an understanding of how, why, and when to use the wide variety of reliability engineering tools available and offers fundamental insight into the total design cycle. Applicable from the idea phase of the product development cycle through product obsolescence, these concepts integrated with reliability verification and analytical physics form a coherent stage gate/phase design process that helps ensure that a product will meet customers’ reliability objectives.

An exploration of the methods for creating the truly user-centered system designs needed an increasingly complex world, this book provides design guidance for creating systems that keep operator situation awareness (SA) high and support real-time decision making and performance requirements. It supplies an in-depth understanding of how people acquire and interpret information in complex settings and recognize the factors that undermine this process. The authors describe theories of human decision-making and treat information processing with as much importance as actual design examples.

The Semantic Turn

Mitsuo Nagamachi

A New Foundation for Design

Hiroshima University, Japan Series: Industrial Innovation

Klaus Krippendorff

Written by the founder of this technology, this set provides the reader with the background and history of Kansei Engineering and demonstrates how to use it in each stage. This new ergonomic technology seeks to develop a product based on a consumer emotion. First, the consumer feeling is surveyed by psychological and or psycho-physiological measurement; then, the survey data are analyzed using statistical techniques; finally, the analyzed data are transferred to design domain through engineering and technology. Kansei/Affective Engineering explains this new technique in detail, while Innovations in Kansei Engineering outlines successful applications of this method.

An indispensable guide, The Semantic Turn offers designers a foundation on which to state their claims and validate their designs. Written by a recognized designer and distinguished scholar of communication and language use, the book builds an bridge between language/communication theory and human-centered conceptions of contemporary artifacts. Clarifying how the semantic turn differs from other approaches to meaning, the author develops four new theories of how artifacts make sense and presents a series of meaning-sensitive design methods, illustrated by examples, and evaluative techniques that radically depart from the functionalist and technology-centered tradition in design.

Martha Boss and Dennis W. Day

A collection of papers from the 3rd International Symposium on Work Ability — Promotion of Work Ability towards Productive Aging, this publication delineates the Work Ability Indes (WAI) as an index for evaluating work ability. The WAI is used in 25 languages and is becoming an international and multi-cultural technique. This book discusses, from variety of angles, the goal of developing a tool that can be used internationally, taking into account differences in circumstances among countries, striving towards a common guideline that exceeds national and regional boundaries that can be used for the diagnostic evaluation of work ability and employability.

Chemical, biological, and radioactive (CBR) threats are generally only recognized after a catastrophic occurs. However, many buildings and facilities throughout the world already have these known risk factors. This resource aids building owners and operators in quickly determining appropriate risk management both during normal operations and when emergencies occur. It explores ventilation systems, the value of sheltering versus evacuation, design options, decontamination methods, and mechanical systems. It also presents summaries of regulations that are used to determine if chemicals that are present create a risk to off-site locations or constitute a homeland security vulnerability.

Institute of Welding

Ashford, Connecticut, USA

Contrary to popular general sentiment that fatal accidents follow no pattern, Fatal Accidents contends that they diminish with time in an ordered fashion. It proposes a model of human behavior in which the reduction in fatal accident rates over time results from a development of skill, such that the population becomes progressively more adept at avoiding mishaps. Such changes are subconsciously and collectively regulated by the population concerned – for example, by drivers in the case of road transport – and are made possible by advances in science and technology. A similar model is applicable to the reduction of general mortality rates, to economic growth and to population growth.

Still a developing discipline, Human Reliability Assessment (HRA) has seen many changes in the past few years. And since it is still developing, its methods have elements of controversy. Exploring these elements, this book covers data and data sources, choice of methods, training of individuals, use of simulators, and relationships between psychology, human factors, accident analyses, and human reliability. It covers background, risk concepts, and HRA principles, then examines a range of current HRA models and tools and how to select the appropriate one. These discussions provide HRA specialists and decision makers with the research to either backup their decisions or lead them to change them.

Lean thinking has been linked to most core business processes including manufacturing, product development, purchasing, accounting, and the supply chain. It can also be linked to the continuous improvement of safety. This unique book provides the knowledge necessary to both assess and improve a current safety program by using lean tools and techniques. Written by a leader in the industry with more than 30 years of experience, the text focuses on cultural change, leadership of change, improvement methodologies, incident and accident investigations, and the metrics required to track a successful implementation that will help to guarantee the safety of all.

Glidepath, LLC, Texas, USA

Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

This is probably the first book in 40 years to comprehensively discuss conveyors, a topic that seems mundane until the need arises to move material from point A to point B without manual intervention. This book gives industrial designers, engineers, and operations managers key information for determining which type of conveyor to purchase and how to use it to meet their transport needs. It discusses requirements for specific products or materials and environmental factors, including extreme temperatures. Each chapter covers a specific type of conveyor including chain, belt, and gravity varieties, highlighting the primary features such as load capacity and rate and operation.

Classical inventory management focuses on cost minimization as a performance measure, where many cost parameters are difficult to estimate and inventory system costs are hidden. Constantly changing in response to international competition and new technology, inventory management requires a new family of performance measures that represent situations more realistically. Establishing the foundation for new areas of research, Inventory Management: Non-Classical Views focuses on the need to design inventory systems that serve as a means of flexibility, to develop performance measures other than cost to control inventory, and to view inventory as a contributor to customer value creation.

In this third edition of a bestseller, acclaimed experts Robert and Kenneth Latino offer a broad look at various approaches to RCA, comparing pros and cons, and supplying tools to implement or improve current RCA initiatives. They take a wider approach that covers opportunity analysis, and RCA’s fit with Total Quality Management and Six Sigma. Overall, the book presents updated and expanded material including: a chapter devoted to problem-solving/brainstorming; methodology versus software; using the PROACT® approach complimented by PROACT® Enterprise Version 3.0 software; discussion of the various conflicting definitions of common terms used in RCA; and a focus on measuring ROI.

While FMEA has helped many companies improve quality by teaching them how to avoid what can go wrong, it doesn’t show how to make things go right. That is what Success Every Time (SET) does. Developed by renowned manufacturing visionary John Casey, SET defines a logic stream for engineers to strategically incorporate no-cost or low-cost error-proofing devices to help production operators. The operators interface with their parts and tools in such a way that either the product is made correctly, or the product/process is stopped. Operators can make only good parts — nothing else. Proper implementation drives higher first time yield, while improving customer satisfaction and profits.

The emergence of Model Based Architecture (MDA™) and recent initiatives for model-based systems engineering (MBSE) will play heavily in how the practice of architecture and systems engineering evolves over the next several years. Rooted in the long-standing practices of engineering, science, and mathematics, this book gives readers the foundation and elementary methods to step into the domain of model-based architecture and systems engineering practices. It explores the fundamentals of systems architecture, describes how it fits into systems engineering, explains the role of a systems architect, and provides succinct recommendations on how systems architecture should be practiced.

Emphasizing a top-down approach, this volume considers the purpose and basic features of design and how the concept of value can provide a quantitative measure of that wider interaction of the engineered object with its environment. This work also develops the domain in which functional design takes place and explores how the system concept can be embedded in that domain. It proposes a number of functional design elements and develops them in considerable detail, outlining how they can be applied as part of a coherent design framework. For greater understanding of the discussed concepts, numerous examples and analogies are included.

Extensively rewritten to reflect the latest developments, the third edition explains how to create a system from scratch, presenting invention/design rules together with clear explanations of how to use them. The author supplies practical guidelines for avoiding common systematic failures while implementing new mandates. He uses a heuristics-based approach that provides an organized attack on very ill-structured engineering problems. Examining architecture as more than a set of diagrams and documents, but as a set of decisions that either drive a system to success or doom it to failure, the book provide methods for integrating business strategy with technical architectural decision making.

With coverage ranging from the complex characteristics and behaviors of enterprises to the challenges they pose for engineering and technology, this book examines the impacts of enterprise processes and leading-edge technologies on the evolution of an enterprise. It discusses new and emerging modes of thought that are increasingly being recognized as essential to successful systems engineering, defining and examining key building blocks of this evolving field. It addresses the issues of the changing nature of SE, lays out a recommended direction for the future, and provides a unified basis for moving toward a mature discipline with the expanded scope.

Series: Systems Evaluation, Prediction and Decision-Making, 4

The advent of inexpensive computing allows engineers to analyze, compute, and develop results that were unthinkable in the past. This book draws from diverse areas of engineering and the physical sciences to cover the fundamentals of linear systems. Assuming no prior knowledge of complex mathematics, the author uses his nearly 40 years of experience to address all of the necessary mathematical techniques. Original proofs, hundreds of examples, and theorems that have been proven from the student’s point of view illustrate and clarify the material. An extensive table provides Lyapunov functions for differential equations and conditions of stability for the equilibrium solutions.

This book presents a series of new understandings and a new system of methodology in the area of prediction. The text brings the reader into the system of evolution science by demonstrating the informational digitization is not only a revolution of scientific methods but also a major reform of theories. Real-life case studies illustrate how to digitize information, simplifying the difficult problem of prediction into an easy task that can be learned, mastered, and applied in the analysis and prediction of forthcoming changes in materials and fluids. The author also points out why frequent failures are experiences in forecasting and why some of the fundamentals in basic scientific theories need to be changed.

Developing Lean Culture in the Process Industries Raymond C. Floyd Suncor, Calgary, Alberta, Canada Suncor, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Liquid industries, including reactive chemical factories, petroleum and metal refining, food and bio-pharma production are ones that could make great use of the concepts of Lean. However, Lean manufacturing is not widely used in these industries, largely because they are naturally conservative and thanks to the times, more financially stable than most, so great case stories of successful Lean implementation are rare. This book will be the first to offer details and examples of adapting Lean manufacturing to liquid industries. It will be based on more than twenty years of industry experience from the legendary Raymond Floyd, one of the first to successfully practice Lean in the chemical industry. Catalog no.

Excelling in a High-Mix, Low-Volume Environment Greg Lane

Pull Production for the Shopfloor Edited by

The Productivity Press Development Team

Low Volume Lean, Stockton, California, USA

Shopfloor Series

Toyota’s methods have rendered remarkable results in high-volume plants, but they have not been fully understood and correctly applied in high-mix, lowvolume environments. While lean principles apply in such an environment, implementation methods and tools must be adapted and alternate methods embraced. Written by Greg Lane, one of the few individuals certified as a Toyota Production System Key Person, this book is specifically geared for manufacturers that have hundreds to thousands of active part numbers with few or no ongoing forecasted volumes, and for shops that build to order. It focuses on eliminating non-value-added activities and instituting improvements on repetitive jobs.

An introduction to basic pull production concepts, this book gives production teams and managers the understanding they need to begin implementing this lean tool. It shows readers how to get everyone on board to reduce work in process inventory, lead-time, and other profit-draining expenses. The book also covers how to get support from higher management for pull implementation efforts. Well-organized and structured for ease of use, the book includes chapter overviews and summaries, questions throughout each chapter to help readers apply the information in their workplace, drawings and illustrations, and margin icons that flag definitions, main points, and other highlights.

Mistake-Proofing for Operators The ZQC System Edited by

The Productivity Press Development Team

Quick Response Manufacturing A Companywide Approach to Reducing Lead Times Rajan Suri

Shopfloor Series

Founding Director, Center for Quick Response Manufacturing, Madison, Wisconsin, USA

Since it is human nature to make mistakes, the Zero Quality Control System (ZQC) does not blame people for errors, but instead keeps errors from becoming defects by monitoring processing conditions at the source. In this breakthrough approach, mistake-proofing devices called poka-yoke are used to check and give feedback about each product or operation in the process, not just a sample. Winner of a Shingo Prize for Excellence in Manufacturing Mistake-Proofing for Operators introduces operators and assembly workers to the basic methodology of ZQC in an easy-to-read format that covers all aspects of this important manufacturing improvement strategy.

Developed by the author and now being employed by a number of businesses, Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) is an expansion of time-based competition, aimed at a single target with the goal of reducing lead times. The key difference between QRM and other time-based programs is that QRM covers an entire organization, from the shop floor to the office, to sales and beyond. Providing guidelines for establishing a QRM enterprise, this volume builds upon kaizen, TQM, TPM, and other practice to help organizations streamline all functions of their operation. It shows how to quickly introduce products, along with ways to rethink materials and production management.

Textbook

Principles and Practices of Lean Production John Nicholas

Lean Manufacturing

Made-to-Order Lean

Self-Balancing Processes True Lean Continuous Flow

Series: Resource Management

Gordon Ghirann

Based on the author’s more than 30 years of teaching experience, this textbook presents lean production methods. The book first introduces the lean philosophy and then demonstrates the principles and techniques of lean production — including small batch production, setup reduction, pull production, preventive maintenance, standard operations, as well as synchronizing and scheduling lean operations — using real-world case studies. The text concludes with a discussion of how to accomplish these goals while partnering with suppliers. It also includes end-of-chapter questions along with numerous worked out problems to serve as illustrative examples of implementation techniques.

Since Henry Ford sent the first chassis down an assembly line, line balancing issues have proven hard to eradicate. Often time the achievement of TAKT is an illusion. Human factors, quality of parts, variation all must be considered every day. To maintain continuous flow requires not a single fix, but requires a paradigm shift in thinking that encourages continual self-correcting. Relying on a number of successful case studies of improvements initiated by the author, this book demonstrates ways to recognize weak links and continually solve them. It offers rules, tools (including simulation software), and guidelines to eliminate problems before they start or at the root.

A Critical Component of Toyota’s PDCA Management System Durward K. Sobek II. University of Montana, Bozemont, USA

Art Smalley Art of Lean, Huntington Beach, California, USA

In this book James Morgan and Jeffrey Liker compare and contrast the worldclass product development process of Toyota with that of a U.S. competitor. They use extensive examples from both of the competitors to demonstrate value stream mapping as an extraordinarily powerful tool for continuous improvement. Through examples and case studies, this book illustrates specific techniques and proven practices for dealing with challenges associated with product development, such as synchronizing multiple disciplines, multiple function workload leveling, compound process variation, effective technology integration, and knowledge management.

The A3 report has proven to be a key tool In Toyota’s successful move toward organizational efficiency. The power of the A3 report, however, derives not from the report itself, but rather from the development of the dynamic culture required for the implementation of an A3 system. Winner of a 2009 Shingo Research and Professional Publication Prize, this manual highlights the deep learning and professional development that occurs in the A3 process. The authors show that the report is an especially effective tool when implemented in conjunction with a PDCA-based management philosophy. The book includes some very practical advice on how to write and review A3 reports.

An Integrated Approach to Just-In-Time, Fourth Edtion

A How-To Guide for Streamlining Time to Market

Yasuhiro Monden

Drew A. Locher

Mejiro University, Tokyo, Japan

Change Movement Associates, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, USA

A bestseller for more than two decades, this classic work covers the entire framework of the Toyota Production System (TPS), including its theoretical underpinnings as well as pragmatic information on how it is implemented. The revised fourth edition presents the latest developments in TPS at Toyota. For example, the text emphasizes the humanistic production system, that is, how respect for humanity was introduced into TPS. The author also explores the link between Kaizen methods and calculation methods in TPS. New material focuses on electronic Kanban systems, computer-based information systems, cellular manufacturing systems versus conveyor lines, and mini-profit centers.

Customers and markets identify needs and companies design products and services to fill those needs. While this relationship may seem straightforward, the development process can often be a root cause for customer dissatisfaction and can lead to substantial waste throughout an enterprise that can be felt for years. Such waste can be avoided by consciously applying lean thinking and detailed mapping to the development process. In Value Stream Mapping for Lean Development, author Drew Locher provides an accessible, enjoyable, how-to guide to value stream mapping that highlights its tremendous impact on product development and accompanying processes.
