As India moves towards the "Vision 2047" in a quest for a better future, there is a growing need for the design of technology and infrastructure to enable well-being, safety, and productivity for Indians. Human Factors and Ergonomics is one discipline that supports the well-being of people in terms of design, maintenance, management, regulation, and governance of technology. Due to the lack of disciplinary programs that address the totality of the discipline, there is a need for capacity building in the academic sector for trainingthe next generation of practitioners. This sample syllabus, while covering the breadth of the discipline, also provides a foundation for Indian universities to fulfil the requirements of Human Factors and Ergonomics. This syllabus can be creatively adapted to suit specific master's programs in science, engineering, technology, and design. This syllabus provides a basis for a holistic academic program that supports the next generation of learners in India.

In der neu überarbeiteten fünften Auflage des Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics präsentieren Dr. Gavriel Salvendy und Waldemar Karwowski eine umfassende Untersuchung der Gestaltung von Arbeitsumgebungen, Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen und die neueste Forschung zur Verringerung von Gesundheits- und Sicherheitsrisiken. Die Herausgeber haben praxisorientierte Arbeiten von einem internationalen Team führender Experten auf dem Gebiet der Ergonomie und menschlichen Faktoren zusammengestellt, die sowohl für Fachleute auf diesem Gebiet als auch für Sicherheitsingenieure und Spezialisten für Mensch-Computer-Interaktion von Interesse sind. Das Handbuch enthält Informationen aus über 7500 Quellen und bietet die neuesten Erkenntnisse zu Themen wie künstliche Intelligenz, soziale Medien, Informationstechnologie und Cybersicherheit sowie Datenanalyse. In zahlreichen Fallstudien wird die praktische Anwendung der darin besprochenen Konzepte und Methoden gezeigt, und es werden die außergewöhnlichen Entwicklungen auf diesem Gebiet seit Veröffentlichung der vierten Auflage im Jahr 2012 vorgestellt. Dieses Werk bietet seinen Leserinnen und Lesern außerdem: * Eine gründliche Einführung in die Wirkung der menschlichen Faktoren, insbesondere im Bereich menschliche Faktoren und Ergonomie sowie Gestaltung und Integration menschlicher Systeme * Eine Untersuchung der Grundlagen menschlicher Faktoren, darunter Empfindung und Wahrnehmung, Auswahl und Handlungskontrolle, Informationsverarbeitung und mentale Belastung * Erwägungen zur Gestaltung von Ausrüstung, Aufgaben, Tätigkeiten und Arbeitsumgebungen, insbesondere der Arbeitsplatzgestaltung, Analyse und Gestaltung von Aufgaben und der Nutzung von Schulungssystemen * Eine eingehende Betrachtung der Gestaltung im Hinblick auf Gesundheit, Sicherheit und Komfort, vor allem hinsichtlich Muskel-Skelett-Erkrankungen im unteren Rückenbereich und in den oberen Extremitäten sowie bei der Verwendung von persönlicher Schutzausrüstung Das Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics eignet sich perfekt für Ingenieure, die sich mit den Bereichen Ergonomie und menschliche Faktoren beschäftigen, und zwar auf jeder Ebene ihrer Laufbahn. Es hat auch einen Platz in den Bibliotheken von Fachleuten verdient, die in den Bereichen Designtechnik, angewandte Psychologie und Mensch-Computer-Interaktion tätig sind, sowie von Leitern von Konstruktions- und Technikabteilungen, Sicherheitsfachleuten und Industriehygienikern.

Work Organization and Methods Engineering for Productivity provides an introduction to, and practical advice on, assessing methods of working to achieve maximum output and efficiency. The main focus of the book is on the ‘work study’, which helps to increase the productivity of men, machines and materials. We are currently seeing a lot of disruptive advancement in industrial operations caused by technologies, including artificial intelligence and IoT. Against this technological backdrop, and with ever increasing focus on value, the fundamental understanding of how to analyze and organize the workplace for productivity is more important than ever. Case studies and illustrations throughout make this book a much have for managers with responsibility for production and planning in industry. Helps the reader understand the fundamental factors affecting productivity, along with their relevance to work organization Includes valuable industry case studies from sectors including manufacturing, textile production and sea port operations Includes several formats and charts that are important in the recording of data for practical work studies

The primary area of research of Dr. Aleksandar Zunjic is Ergonomics. Also, he works in the field of Industrial engineering and in other multidisciplinary engineering areas. Aleksandar Zunjic has been published his scientific work in many prestigious international journals and books. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the International Engineering and Technology Institute (IETI). Aleksandar Zunjic is the President of the Ergonomics Society of Serbia. He is also the President of the IETI for the Belgrade Branch. Aleksandar Zunjic is a member of the Technical Committee of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA) - Work With Computing Systems (WWCS). He is the Head of the Laboratory for Ergonomics, and currently holds 7 courses at the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. He has been the editor, member of organizational boards and program boards of many international conferences. Aleksandar Zunjic is a member of the Editorial Board of an international journal IETI Transactions on Sciences, and a member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Behavioral Research & Psychology (IJBRP). Aleksandar Zunjic is also the Editor-in-Chief of two new journals: IETI Transactions on Ergonomics and Safety and IETI Transactions on Engineering Research and Practice. Book Description: Ergonomic design is an applicative part of ergonomics, which deals with the adjustment and adaptation of design solutions for various objects and systems according to the user's needs, such as technical products or other products for daily use. The application of ergonomics in product design contributes to the creation of new solutions that are comfortable, safe, efficient, and which contribute to the satisfaction of customers. In this book, certain topics that were not previously treated from the ergonomic aspect are represented. In this regard, topics related to the ergonomic design of certain furniture elements and traffic route evaluation can be pointed out. For the first time collectively, the interdependence of ergonomics, safety and aesthetics in relation to the design of consumer products and certain systems are considered. Also, the original method for assessing the comfort of bus interiors that are intended for the public transport of passengers is also presented. In the larger part of the publication, the emphasis is on the original approach in solving various problems of ergonomic design as well as the evaluation of products and systems. Although this publication retains an academic agenda, special attention is devoted to the applicability of the publication in terms of its accessibility and understandability for the general population. Target Audience: The book is primarily intended for researchers and experts in the field of ergonomics who want to familiarize themselves with the latest knowledge in the field of Ergonomics. Also, it is intended for students who want to expand their knowledge in this field. In addition, due to the applicative nature of this book, it is intended for a wide audience, primarily for designers and manufacturers of different products, as well as for designers of complex systems.

Building on the success of previous editions, the 4th edition of ‘Introduction to Human Factors and Ergonomics’ provides a comprehensive and up to date introduction to the field. The new edition places the subject matter into a system context using a human-machine model to structure the chapters and a knowledge application model to structure the organisation of material in each chapter. Every chapter covers: Core Concepts, Basic Applications, Tools and Processes, and System Integration issues regardless of topic. Includes over 200 exercises and essays (at least ten per chapter). An Instructor’s Manual, A Guide to Tutorials and Seminars and and over 500 powerpoint slides are available for academic users from the publisher. All chapters contain ‘HFE Workshop’ sections with practical guidance and worked examples. Please see the TOC for more information.

This volume is concerned with the human factors, ergonomics, and safety issues related to the design of products, processes, and systems, as well as operation and management of business enterprises in both manufacturing and service sectors of contemporary industry.
