Download or read book Ergonomic Design for Material Handling Systems written by Karl H.E. Kroemer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ergonomics focus is on how to design work tasks, tools, and environments to fit the capabilities and limitations of people. Ergonomic Design for Material Handling Systems describes how ergonomics can be applied specifically to load handling, both in the original design of systems and in their modification to make jobs easier and safer. Proven techniques (such as flow charting, or job analysis) are combined with new considerations (such as biomechanics and repetitive trauma) to optimize facility, work station, equipment, and job procedures. Ergonomic Design for Material Handling Systems shows how ergonomics overlaps and intertwines with traditional engineering and management, uniting them to produce ease and efficiency in material handling. This book demonstrates how to lay out facilities in order to achieve the most efficient and safe design. It tells how to organize tasks, machinery, people, and materials to improve work flow and "humanize" your workplaces. Consideration of human needs and abilities contributes essentially to successful performance-let this practical book be your guide.
Download or read book Ergonomic Guidelines for Manual Material Handling written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This booklet is written for managers and supervisors in industries that involve the manual handling of containers. It offers suggestions to improve the handling of rectangular, square, and cylindrical containers, sacks, and bags. "Improving Manual Material Handling in Your Workplace" lists the benefits of improving your work tasks. It also contains information on risk factors, types of ergonomic improvements, and effective training and sets out a four-step proactive action plan. The plan helps you identify problems, set priorities, make changes, and follow up. Sections 1 and 2 of "Improvement Options" provide ways to improve lifting, lowering, filling, emptying, or carrying tasks by changing work practices and/or the use of equipment. Guidelines for safer work practices are also included. Section 3 of "Improvement Options" provides ideas for using equipment instead of manually handling individual containers. Guidelines for safer equipment use are also included. For more help the "Resources" section contains additional information on administrative improvements, work assessment tools and comprehensive analysis methods. This section also includes an improvement evaluation tool and a list of professional and trade organizations related to material handling."--Page 6.

Download or read book Ergonomic Design for People at Work The Design of Jobs including Work Patterns Hours of Work Manual Materials Handling Tasks Methods to Evaluate Job Demands and the Physiological Basis of Work written by The Ergonomics Group, Health and Environmental Laboratories, Eastman Kodak Company and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1989-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ergonomics human factors is a multidisciplinary science that uses knowledge of human capacities and capabilities to assist in the design of safe and productive jobs, workplaces, equipment, and products. Eastman Kodak, with over twenty-five years of applied research and practical experience in ergonomics, is at the forefront of this developing field. The first volume of this comprehensive ergonomics resource presented principles by which safe and highly effective workplaces, equipment and environments could be designed. This second volume complements Volume I by drawing on physiology, psychology, engineering, medicine, and environmental sciences to provide practical information for the design of jobs and work tasks. The guidelines and procedures included are based on ergonomic approaches that have proven to be effective within Kodak. Topics covered in this volume include. • The Physiological Basis of Work • Evaluation of Job Demands • Patterns of Work with Information on Repetitive and Paced Work • Hours of Work Including Shiftwork and Overtime • Manual Materials Handling Ergonomic Design for People at Work, Volume 2 offers a realistic approach to the science of ergonomics. Special consideration is given to the broad range of capabilities of the industrial population as determined by their age, sex, and health status. Over 140 illustrations graphically present key concepts that help identify solutions to many problems. Ergonomics and human factors specialists, health and safety professionals, industrial hygienists, industrial engineers, equipment designers, architects, and labor relations specialists will find this volume an indispensable reference.

Download or read book Designing Soldier Systems written by John Martin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-20 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on contemporary human factors issues within the design of soldier systems and describes how they are currently being investigated and addressed by the U.S. Army to enhance soldier performance and effectiveness. Designing Soldier Systems approaches human factors issues from three main perspectives. In the first section, Chapters 1-5 focus on complexity introduced by technology, its impact on human performance, and how issues are being addressed to reduce cognitive workload. In the second section, Chapters 6-10 concentrate on obstacles imposed by operational and environmental conditions on the battlefield and how they are being mitigated through the use of technology. The third section, Chapters 11-21, is dedicated to system design and evaluation including the tools, techniques and technologies used by researchers who design soldier systems to overcome human physical and cognitive performance limitations as well as the obstacles imposed by environmental and operations conditions that are encountered by soldiers. The book will appeal to an international multidisciplinary audience interested in the design and development of systems for military use, including defense contractors, program management offices, human factors engineers, human system integrators, system engineers, and computer scientists. Relevant programs of study include those in human factors, cognitive science, neuroscience, neuroergonomics, psychology, training and education, and engineering.
