Work Design : Occupational Ergonomics - With CD

Covering the basics of industrial engineering and ergonomics, this textbook discusses the history of the field, the relationship between human anatomy and design, the design process, ergonomics, work environments, work measurement, and implementation. Industrial engineers Konz (Kansas State University) and Johnson (University of Arkansas) state that more material is presented than can be covered in a typical three credit-hour course, which allows for flexilibility in the text's use. An included CD-ROM contains programs relevant to forms, anthropometry, environment, lift/move, work physiology, math, time, and units, as well as quiz questions with answers for each chapter.
