Download or read book Ergonomics of Hybrid Automated Systems II written by Waldemar Karwowski and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1990 with total page 1072 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced manufacturing systems, from their conception to implementation require intense human involvement. In the attempt to eliminate human labour, other skills become vital in the successful design and operation of high-technology systems. In order to succeed, technical knowledge must be integrated with human capabilities within a social infrastructure - from top-level management to end-users. Such integration can be best organized into a socio-technical theoretical framework. The papers in this volume reflect the complexity of current and potential problems which are intrinsic to technological advances in computerized manufacturing systems.

Book Ergonomics of Hybrid Automated Systems III

Download or read book Ergonomics of Hybrid Automated Systems III written by Waldemar Karwowski and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a great worldwide social experiment where different models of manufacturing are competing with each other. A growing gap of performance is emerging between a small number of pioneer manufacturers substantially renewing their industries and mainstream businesses still following rather traditional perspectives of rationalization. The successful innovators, having implemented new models of production, are able to achieve quantum leaps in economic performance and competitiveness with respect to productivity, lead time or innovation capability. This indicates that the development and comprehensive use of human abilities, skills and expertise are crucial. The role of humans and the functions of technology in manufacture are shifting weights and it is obvious that a holistic approach to work design is required, which considers the mutual dependencies of people's needs, organisation and technology. The 73 papers organized in six sections in this volume reflect the variety and complexity of the problems inherent in the design, implementation and management of advanced manufacturing systems.The first part, entitled Design of Advanced Manufacturing Systems (20 papers), addresses issues of design of advanced manufacturing systems as a unity of people, organization and technology. The second part (20 papers) deals with more details questions of Shaping Computer Technology and Work Design in important sub-systems of manufacturing. The third part (12 papers) is devoted to Human Computer Interaction issues from different angles and for various domains of work in the factory environment. Part IV (9 papers) presents papers devoted to various aspects of Human Resources Management . Papers allocated to part V (6 papers) discuss the important issues of Skill Formation and Training associated with the renewal of the factory. Finally, part VI (5 papers) deals with the improvement of Safety issues in computerized manufacturing systems.

Book Ergonomics of Hybrid Automated Systems I

Download or read book Ergonomics of Hybrid Automated Systems I written by Waldemar Karwowski and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1988 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a selection of 89 of the 122 papers presented at the first international conference on Ergonomics of Advanced Manufacturing and Hybrid Automated Systems. The number and quality of proposals submitted for technical presentations testify to the importance of human aspects in implementing and managing advanced manufacturing technology and other computer-based automated systems. It also justifies the need for an international forum to discuss new ideas and exchange observations regarding the impact of technological progress on societies around the world. Hybrid automated systems, which combine human and machine intelligence, create progressively more and more challenges for workers, management, consumers and government. Recent developments in advanced manufacturing technology which include computer-integrated manufacturing, computer-aided design and engineering, computer-aided process planning and manufacturing resource planning, pose significant questions with respect to human involvement in hybrid automated systems.

Download or read book Virtual Worlds written by Jean-Claude Heudin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-05-20 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 Introduction Imagine a virtual world with digital creatures that looks like real life, sounds like real life, and even feels like real life. Imagine a virtual world not only with nice three dimensional graphics and animations, but also with realistic physical laws and forces. This virtual world could be familiar, reproducing some parts of our reality, or unfa miliar, with strange “physical” laws and artificial life forms. As a researcher interested in the sciences of complexity, the idea of a conference about virtual worlds emerged from frustration. In the last few years, there has been an increasing interest in the design of artificial environments using image synthesis and virtual reality. The emergence of industry standards such as VRML [1] is an illustra tion of this growing interest. At the same time, the field of Artificial Life has ad dressed and modeled complex phenomena such as self organization, reproduction, development, and evolution of artificial life like systems [2]. One of the most popular works in this field has been Tierra designed by Tom Ray: an environment producing synthetic organisms based on a computer metaphor of organic life in which CPU time is the “energy” resource and memory is the “material” resource [3]. Memory is or ganized into informational patterns that exploit CPU time for self replication. Muta tion generates new forms, and evolution proceeds by natural selection as different creatures compete for CPU time and memory space.

Book Agile Manufacturing

Download or read book Agile Manufacturing written by A. Gunasekaran and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-01-25 with total page 821 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agile manufacturing is defined as the capability of surviving and prospering in a competitive environment of continuous and unpredictable change by reacting quickly and effectively to changing markets, driven by customer-designed products and services. Critical to successfully accomplishing AM are a few enabling technologies such as the standard for the exchange of products (STEP), concurrent engineering, virtual manufacturing, component-based hierarchical shop floor control system, information and communication infrastructure, etc.The scope of the book is to present the undergraduate and graduate students, senior managers and researchers in manufacturing systems design and management, industrial engineering and information technology with the conceptual and theoretical basis for the design and implementation of AMS. Also, the book focuses on broad policy directives and plans of agile manufacturing that guide the monitoring and evaluating the manufacturing strategies and their performance. A problem solving approach is taken throughout the book, emphasizing the context of agile manufacturing and the complexities to be addressed.
