See What's in the New Edition: Four case studies Addition of another co-author Examples that reflect current technology Information on Critical Path Analysis (CPA) The authors highlight where ergonomics methods fit in the design process and how to select a method appropriate for your purpose. They describe each method, supplying an overview, instructions on how to carry out an analysis, a mini bibliography, pros and cons, one or more examples, and a flow chart. They then rate each method for reliability/validity, resources, usability, and efficacy. The book then examines data from studies on training, reliability, and validity, and presents an equation that enables you to calculate approximately the financial benefits of using each method. Based on research and expertise, the book gives you the freedom to be adventurous when choosing methods and the foundation to choose the method that fits the task at hand. Written by experts, it also helps you hone your skills and put the craft of ergonomics into practice. The second edition of a bestseller, this book examines a select but widely utilized group of psychological ergonomics methods. Completely revised and updated, it provides practitioners with valuable insight into how, where, and why each of the methodologies cited in the book has its unique utility and advantage. The step-by-step process provided with each methodology makes the book a requirement for every ergonomics practitioner's bookshelf. |
