With a practical, applied orientation, this book presents and integrates in a single source important methods and tools used in the fields of industrial engineering, human factors and ergonomics to design and improve jobs, tasks and products. The author covers such topics as the human system, motion analysis, predicting human performance, simulation in ergonomic design, product quality and usability, macroergonomics, and occupational safety and health. Each chapter offers challenging problems and examples to illustrate concepts. The new second edition features two new chapters that address human error causation and reduction and human computer interaction. It also includes updated figures.

Review :

Praise for the Second Edition:
"… a very well written, well organized and comprehensive approach to understanding the physical and cognitive aspects of integrating the human into the work environment."
— Pamela McCauley Bush, Ph.D., CPE, University of Central Florida, Orlando, USA

"A must have book for engineering classrooms."
—Gavriel Salvendy

Praise for the First Edition:
"… a book that students should keep for later use throughout their professional careers. A key feature of this book is its thoroughness."
—Professor Tom Schnell, Department of Industrial and Mechanical Engineering, Director Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL), University of Iowa, USA

"… a key text in the field … The topics covered are comprehensive, perhaps the most complete to date. … The authors have done an outstanding job of gauging the appropriate level of depth to coincide with their overarching goal of providing a text for those who will be involved with design."
—Professor Richard Koubek, Chair, The Harold and Inge Marcus Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
