WelcomeWelcome to the 2017 Ergonomics, Human Factors, Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Catalogue.

Inside this catalogue you will find a selection of new and forthcoming titles in Ergonomics, Human Factors, Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing. Whilst Ergonomics and Human Factors explore the interaction between operator and task, Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing deals with the optimization of complex processes or systems which apply science, mathematics, and engineering methods to these systems. Both multidisciplinary fields draw on elements from psychology, engineering, biomechanics, industrial design, human-computer interaction (HCI), virtual reality, manufacturing, aviation and product design, and safety.

Dummy text to keep placeholderMental ModelsDesign of User Interaction and Interfaces for Domestic Energy SystemsKirsten M. A. Revell, University of Southampton, United Kingdom and Neville A.Stanton, University of Southhampton, United KingdomThere is a resurgence of interest in mental models due to advances in our understandingof how they can be used to help design and due to the development of practical methodsto elicit them. This book brings both areas together with a focus on reducing domesticenergy consumption. The book focuses on how mental models can be applied in designto 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 applymental models to interface design. The approach enables mental models to be appliedacross domains when behaviour change was sought, and is validated as a useful designmethod.

It also provides thescientific principles behind measuring work. All engineers areengaged in designing work and evaluating designs no matterwhat their specialization is. All engineers must understand thework design process and how to measure in terms of timerequirements and efficiency. No book like this currently exists.

The rationale is to provide information that "every engineer should know".

A Human Factors ApproachRonald William Day, Safe Design Solutions, Australia; CentralQueensland University, AustraliaWhen accidents happen, it is common to blame the end-users,the pilots, the drivers, the controllers, those who are at the frontline of the operation. But accident investigators often admit thatthere were flaws in the design of the ICT system, engineereddevice, or business procedure. This book provides aresearch-based investigation into the design process, pointingout how and where errors creep in, and offers practical adviceon strategies to remove potential hazards from design projectsin the future. Real life examples are used to demonstrate thepoints being made.

Series: Industrial Innovation SeriesThis book deals with the improvement of suppliers in order to increase a company's topand bottom-line. The enhancement of suppliers can be accomplished in a series of stepswhen conditions warrant intervention. They can also be generated through direct qualitymentoring when the supplier does not have the basic skills or abilities to adequately addressimpending problems. Also included are guideline activities which will aid in achieving andattaining improved profitability and competitiveness in the world market. Packed withexamples, problems, and forms to allow easy establishment of systems, makes theinformation presented more easily understood, interesting, and useful.

The designtechnologist has to understand the elements and principles employed by designers andhow these change for various textile media. One must also have a good understanding ofthe processes, materials, and products for which the textile designer is required to producecreative solutions. This book will be for designers wishing to improve their technologicalknowledge, technologists wishing to understand the design process, and anyone else whoseeks to work at this design-technology interface.

It can have an impact onthe operations of an enterprise as well as the wellbeing of the workers. Literature showsthat 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. SMEsmake up the vast majority of private companies in the EU and beyond. Despite theimportance of the issue, the information found in literature is scattered and often not aimedat SMEs. This book aims to gather the latest information and become the full referencepoint for designing and adopting an appropriate safety strategy for SMEs.
