PRODUCT DESIGN Dummy text to keep placeholder

Mental Models Design of User Interaction and Interfaces for Domestic Energy Systems Kirsten M. A. Revell, University of Southampton, United Kingdom and Neville A. Stanton, University of Southhampton, United Kingdom There is a resurgence of interest in mental models due to advances in our understanding of how they can be used to help design and due to the development of practical methods to elicit them. This book brings both areas together with a focus on reducing domestic energy consumption. The book focuses on how mental models can be applied in design to bring out behaviour change resulting in increased achievement of home heating goals (reduced waste and improved comfort). This book also offers a method to extract and apply mental models to interface design. The approach enables mental models to be applied across domains when behaviour change was sought, and is validated as a useful design method.

Theory of User Engineering Masaaki Kurosu, The Open University of Japan, Chiba This book outlines the new concept of user engineering and covers the diversity of users, along with the business process that includes the design and the user’s experience processes. Although the concept of user experience (UX) has become popular, the definition and the methodology are still ambiguous. User’s perspective is strongly emphasized in this book, hence, its stance is far from that of the marketing approach that usually fails to notice the life and experiences of users after the purchase of an artifact as consumers.

Company Success in Manufacturing Organizations

Maintenance Costs and Life Cycle Cost Analysis

A Holistic Systems Approach

Diego Galar, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden, Peter Sandborn, University of Maryland, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, College Park, USA and Uday Kumar, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden

Ana M. Ferreras and Lesia L. Crumpton-Young, University of Central Florida, Orlando, USA Series: Industrial Innovation Series In the past, company success was typically measured by financial indicators. Lately though, non-financial measures such as employee morale have become popular. Although there are approaches that look into quantitative and qualitative performance measures affecting company success, none of them characterize it in a holistic way, combining all the critical performance measures. This book presents a multifaceted approach that prepares engineers and future organizational leaders/managers to measure, monitor, and predict company success in a more meaningful way. CRC Press Market: Engineering - Industrial & Manufacturing July 2017: 235 x 156: 232pp Hb: 978-1-482-23317-9: £69.99 eBook: 978-1-482-23318-6 * For full contents and more information, visit: www.crcpress.com/9781482233179

The book reviews all existing and proposed maintenance cost models in different sectors showing strengths and weaknesses in order to provide not only a unique cost model but an assortment of solutions for different domains where finances, production performance or mission accomplishment may be the real drivers and maintenance must be adapted to them. Maintenance costs that arise when an item or equipment fails are either tangible costs, which are easy to assess using normal cost accounting, or consequential costs which cannot be assessed with any degree of certainty except under very rigid and well-defined circumstances.

Design Error

Profit Improvement through Supplier Enhancement

A Human Factors Approach Ronald William Day, Safe Design Solutions, Australia; Central Queensland University, Australia When accidents happen, it is common to blame the end-users, the pilots, the drivers, the controllers, those who are at the front line of the operation. But accident investigators often admit that there were flaws in the design of the ICT system, engineered device, or business procedure. This book provides a research-based investigation into the design process, pointing out how and where errors creep in, and offers practical advice on strategies to remove potential hazards from design projects in the future. Real life examples are used to demonstrate the points being made.

Edited by George Boustras, European University Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus and Franciscus Wilhelmus Guldenmund, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands Safety is an important aspect of everyday business operations. It can have an impact on the operations of an enterprise as well as the wellbeing of the workers. Literature shows that SMEs face extra problems in this area due to limited resources and lack of knowledge. A potential accident on the premises, in many cases, has devastating consequences. SMEs make up the vast majority of private companies in the EU and beyond. Despite the importance of the issue, the information found in literature is scattered and often not aimed at SMEs. This book aims to gather the latest information and become the full reference point for designing and adopting an appropriate safety strategy for SMEs.

Ragav Venkatesan, Arizona State University, Tempe, USA and Baoxin Li, Arizona State University, Tempe, USA Series: Data-Enabled Engineering

Adedeji B. Badiru, Air Force Institute of Technology, Dayton, Ohio, USA and Sharon C. Bommer Series: Industrial Innovation Series

This book covers the fundamentals in designing and deploying techniques using deep architectures. It is intended to serve as a beginner's guide to engineers or students who want to have a quick start on learning and/or building deep learning systems. This book provides a good theoretical and practical understanding and a complete toolkit of basic information and knowledge required to understand and build convolutional neural networks (CNN) from scratch. The book focuses explicitly on convolutional neural networks, filtering out other material that co-occur in many deep learning books on CNN topics.

Work is all around us and permeates everything we do and everyday activities. Not all work is justified, not all work is properly designed, or evaluated accurately, or integrated. A systems model will make work more achievable through better management. Work is defined as a process of performing a defined task or activity, such as research, development, operations, maintenance, repair, assembly, production, and so on. Very little is written on how to design, evaluate, justify, and integrate work. Using a comprehensive systems approach, this book facilitates a better understanding of work for the purpose of making it more effective and rewarding.
