Work Design is an introductory text for engineers and technicians who design and evaluate jobs and working environments in industry. It is an excellent presentation which combines together the "What to do," "How to do it," and "Why" features. Concepts and techniques from work-time management, human factors (ergonomics), and industrial safety and hygiene are merged to provide a comprehensive viewpoint.

Publishing Horizons

Facility Design &amp; Engineering, Third Edition, is written for undergraduates and industrial practitioners. Perfect for a course in industrial engineering or a course in material handling, the text will help students design all aspects of a facility, including the building itself, material handling, services and environment, and layout and operation of the facility. The self-contained chapters allow instructors to cover the material in a different order than the one presented here, or to expand on or omit certain chapters as desired. The end-of-chapter reference lists and websites help the interested reader dig deeper and learn more about a specific topic. The problems and projects included at the end of each chapter encourage students to apply their learning to real-life activities. 
New to this edition are extensive updates of all chapters; a new chapter, Strategies/Tactics, that consolidates information about lean manufacturing, JIT, and supply chain management; end-of-chapter lists of relevant websites; a glossary of key concepts; and DESIGN computer programs available for download from the Web, covering eight categories: forms, anthropometry, environment, lift/move, work physiology, stat/math, time, and conversion.

Work Design: Industrial Ergonomics, Fifth Edition, gives readers the tools they need to achieve work design that is ergonomically effective while remaining economically feasible. Whether studying work design/ergonomics in a college classroom, preparing for the BCPE certification exam, or working as a professional in the field, readers can depend on this text to provide them with the accurate, up-to-date information they need. Written by engineers for engineers, Work Design's central goal is to provide clear, useful guidelines supported by research, science, and practice--guidelines that permit today's designers to "stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before." This edition provides comprehensive coverage of the work design process, including such topics as occurrence sampling, cumulative trauma, macro ergonomics, error reduction, manual material handling, and temporal ergonomics. 
Work Design offers an explicit organization, an engaging, conversational style, and clear explanations. The book's 500 plus charts and graphics dynamically illustrate important concepts and principles, and its extensive references give readers confidence in the text. 
About the new edition: 
Work Design is now in its fifth edition, ensuring that the material has been tested and revised for clarity and accuracy. In addition, this thoroughly updated new edition includes: 
1. An added chapter on temporal ergonomics, consolidating and integrating information on work and rest. 
2. Additional information on the justification of ergonomics, enabling readers to understand and demonstrate the desirability of industrial applications of ergonomics. 
3. Ergonomic web sites included in relevant chapters for further research and discussion. 
4. An accompanying software program, ERGO 2000, providing easy access to over 75 ergonomic tools such as NIOSH lifting, RULA, and anthropometric databases, and numerous ergonomics forms. Instructors can use the program for student exercises and professionals will find it useful for performing on-the-job tasks. 
Work Design is 
1. A single source for ergonomics and work measurement. Includes chapters on safety, toxicology, error reduction, and temporal ergonomics in addition to standard ergonomics chapters 
2. Easy to read and understand 
3. Recommended by the BCPE to assist applicants in their preparation for the three-section BCPE examination
