About this title

Synopsis

This text is intended for appropriate work design courses on the junior, senior and graduate levels. This tenth edition does update the material of the previous edition so that it corresponds with recent technical changes, though the foremost reason for the revision is to emphasize the importance of ergonomics and work design as parts of methods engineering. There are very few textbooks that integrate both the traditional elements of motion and time study and the human factors of ergonomics into one book or, for that matter, one course. In this day and age, the industrial engineer needs to consider both the issues of productivity and their effects on the health and safety of the worker simultaneously. Through its offering of questions, problems, and sample laboratory exercises, as well as through its online provision of forms and information, "Methods, Standards, & Work Design" is well suited to help instructors teach this prudent approach to their students.
