Download or read book Prospective Ergonomics written by André Liem and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues for a prospective turn in ergonomics to challenge the established fields of strategic design (SD) and management. Its multi-disciplinary outlook builds upon concepts derived from Management, Innovation and Design Science. Differences, similarities and relationships between strategic design and prospective ergonomics are reviewed using existing theories and frameworks from design, ergonomics, and strategic and innovation management. To complement the theory, 12 cases have been analyzed in greater depth according to 4 main dimensions of analysis. Outcomes have shown that innovating through the Prospective Ergonomics (PE) approach is about finding the right balance between, on the one hand, meeting primary objectives such as profit maximization or solving the design problem, and on the other, acknowledging that human activity is bounded by rationality. This means that humans have diverse motives.

Book Digital Transformations in the Challenge of Activity and Work

Download or read book Digital Transformations in the Challenge of Activity and Work written by Marc-Eric Bobillier Chaumon and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES AND HUMAN RESOURCES SET Coordinated by Patrick Gilbert The accelerating pace of technological change (AI, cobots, immersive reality, connected objects, etc.) calls for a profound reexamination of how we conduct business. This requires new ways of thinking, acting, organizing and collaborating in our work. Faced with these challenges, the Human and Social Sciences have a leading role to play, alongside others, in designing, supporting and implementing these digital transformation projects. Their ambition is to participate in the development of innovative and empowering devices, that is to say, systems that are truly at the service of human beings and their activity, that empower these professionals to take action and that also provide occupational health services. This book takes a multidisciplinary look at the challenges of these digital transformations, making use of occupational psychology, ergonomics, sociology of uses, and management sciences. This viewpoint also helps provide epistemological, methodological and empirical insights to better understand and support the changes at work.

Based on the latest online edition of Ullmann's containing articles never been before in print, this ready reference provides practical information on applying the science of toxicology in both the occupational and environmental setting, and explains the fundamentals necessary for an understanding of the effects of chemical hazards on humans and ecosystems. The detailed and meticulously edited articles have been written by renowned experts from industry and academia, and much of the information has been thoroughly revised. Alongside explanations of safety regulations and legal aspects, this set covers food additives, toxic agents as well as medical and therapeutical issues. Top-quality illustrations, clear diagrams and charts combined with an extensive use of tables enhance the presentation and provide a unique level of detail. Deeper insights into any given area of interest is offered by referenced contributions, while rapid access to a particular subject is enhanced by both a keyword and author index.

Book excerpt: Ergonomics and the design of ergonomic workplaces are reaching the attention of many industries and companies. This book discusses the challenges, applications and provides new perspectives on ergonomics. Chapter One provides a framework for positioning design methods and tools in prospective ergonomics. Chapter Two highlights the advantages of the use of analog visual displays that are designed based on the application of ergonomics standards and recommendations, in relation to the design solutions of this type of displays which are not designed according to the ergonomics standards and recommendations (and which are currently used in practice). Chapter Three presents a brief review on recent innovative engineering controls for the ergonomics of manual workers in several industries. Chapter Four focuses on the critical role of cognitive ergonomics in assisting users of complex systems to make effective and efficient decisions through the use of automation. Chapter Five discusses a new perspective and case study that focuses on the unified experience design of a suite of software applications in the enterprise supply chain domain.
