Usability Evaluation for In-Vehicle Systems Catherine Harvey and Neville A. Stanton University of Southampton, UK
“… is a must read for students, practitioners, and most importantly designers who bombard vulnerable users with what technology can offer rather than what it should offer in the context of use and human variability." —Professor Brian Peacock, PhD, National University of Singapore and SIM University
"… nicely complements the existing literature, considering driver interfaces from a non-traditional human-computer interaction perspective. It gives due attention to activities in Europe of which non-Europeans may be unaware. It also provides balanced coverage of both evaluation and computational methods. I give it 10 thumbs up (for those that are all thumbs)." —Professor Paul Green, PhD, University of Michigan, USA

Safety Management

Near Miss Identification, Recognition, and Investigation
Ron C. McKinnon

McKinnon & Associates, Western Cape, South Africa
The only way to ensure that accidents and their consequences are tackled at the source is to identify and eliminate the workplace risks before, rather than after the event. The ongoing identification of workplace and worker risk must become a value to an organization and must occur automatically, as part of the culture of the organization if accidental losses are to be eliminated. This book shows that an organization's safety culture is the driving force behind successful safety management systems that constantly identify and reduce risk thus eliminating accidents which lead to injuries, property damage or environmental disasters.
Identification and investigation of “near-miss” incidents can be the difference between avoiding and suffering a drastic, loss-producing accident. This book provides step-by-step instructions on how to develop a "near-miss" incident program in the workplace to isolate and eliminate root causes, heal systemic weaknesses, and implement safety management systems before an accident occurs. Focusing on the successes of safety systems at two large copper mines, numerous diverse industries, and an aluminum smelter, it includes several examples and case studies to clarify the investigative philosophy and preventive application of "near-miss" incidents.

The experience of the past decade since the publication of the first edition of The Rules of Work: A Practical Engineering Guide to Ergonomics proves just how central ergonomics is for effective production. Revised and updated to reflect new insights from workplace developments, the second edition continues the tradition of providing essential tools for implementing good ergonomics in a way that simultaneously improves both productivity and safety.
Supplying a breadth and depth of coverage beyond that found in most traditional texts, Introduction to Human Factors and Ergonomics for Engineers, Second Edition presents and integrates important methods and tools used in the fields of Industrial Engineering, Human Factors and Ergonomics to design and improve jobs, tasks and products. It presents these topics with a practical, applied orientation suitable for engineering undergraduate students.
New in the Second Edition: • Revised order of chapters to group together topics related to the physical and cognitive aspects of human-integrated systems • Substantially updated material emphasizes the design of products people work with, tasks or jobs people perform, and environments in which people live The book contains sufficient material to be used in its entirety for a two semester sequence of classes, or in part for a single semester course, focusing on selected topics covered in the text. The authors provide a set of guidelines and principles for the design and analysis of human-integrated systems and highlights their application to industry and service systems. It addresses the topics of human factors, work measurement and methods improvement, and product design an approachable style. The common thread throughout the book is on how better "human factors" can lead to improved safety, comfort, enjoyment, acceptance, and effectiveness in all application arenas. Packed with cases studies and examples, readers can use well beyond the classroom and into their professional lives.
What’s New in the Second Edition: • Updated examples and additional rules of thumb • "How to" pages cover actions such as how to design a workstation • Coverage of RULA, Strain Index, and TAPDA In short, the plan of the book is that Part I provides help on how to think and Part II help on how to measure. The non-quantitative materials come first, since creativity in the application of the principles and rules provides greater value. Based on 35 years of practical problem-solving in over 1,500 workplaces, the book provides a down-to-earth and practical guide for solving ergonomics problems. It provides a framework for evaluating tasks using lowtech, non-quantitative methods, along with an overview of the standard measuring systems for those occasions when numbers are needed. Catalog no.

The current global economic downturn and considerable shifting in industrial and manufacturing activities have disturbed the homeostasis of the industrial order. Many issues have to be examined in new context to objectively establish new and adjusted approaches. Human work productivity is one of the most important components of industrial economy and the factor that determines competiveness. All components must be considered as an integrated whole for sustained productivity. This book explores these aspects as independent factors and their impact on productivity. It discusses models integrating these factors and schemes of optimization for incorporation in practice.
As the baby boom generation ages, it is crucial that the next generation of designers understand all they can about bringing this group, as well as all others, design that will offer function, aesthetics, and quality of life. The book helps readers understand how the principles of universal design can be used to evaluate all products and places by showing best practice examples and explaining why they are universally designed. It presents a variety of user/groups in different situations and then shows design directives for meeting their needs. It includes both commercial and residential design.
Features: • Includes a comparative global perspective • Presents integrated approaches • Examines all aspects that feed into productivity • Covers productivity in a number of different areas (manufacturing, service industry, health, mining, forestry, agriculture, petrochemical, etc. ...

Ergonomics & Psychology
Learning Curves Theory, Models, and Applications Edited by
Mohamad Y. Jaber Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
“… spot on — a lot of research has been conducted to understand learning in organizations as opposed to merely estimating a function that relates cumulative production volume to unit cost. … fills a vacuum in learning curve research in theory, modelling and applications.” —Michael A. Lapre, Owen Graduate School of Management, Vanderbilt University
Written by international contributors, Learning Curves: Theory, Models, and Applications first draws a learning map that shows where learning is involved within organizations, then examines how it can be sustained, perfected, and accelerated. The book reviews empirical findings in the literature in terms of different sources for learning and partial assessments of the steps that make up the actual learning process inside the learning curve.
