Research suggests that ergonomists tend to restrict themselves to
two or three of their favorite methods in the design of systems,
despite a multitude of variations in the problems that they face.
Human Factors and Ergonomics Methods delivers an authoritative and
practical account of methods that incorporate human capabilities
and limitations, environmental factors, human-machine interaction,
and other factors into system design. The Handbook describes 83
methods in a standardized format, promoting the use of methods that
may have formerly been unfamiliar to designers. The handbook
comprises six sections, each representing a specialized field of
ergonomics with a representative selection of associated methods.
The sections highlight facets of human factors and ergonomics in
systems analysis, design, and evaluation. Sections I through III
address individuals and their interactions with the world. Section
IV explores social groupings and their interactions (team methods),
and Section V examines the effect of the environment on workers.
The final section provides an overview of work
systems-macroergonomics methods. An onion-layer model frames each
method; working from the individual, to the team, to the
environment, to the work system. Each chapter begins with an
introduction written by the chapter's editor, offering a brief
overview of the field and a description of the methods covered. The
Handbook provides a representative set of contemporary methods that
are valuable in ergonomic analyses and evaluations. The layout of
each chapter is standardized for ease-of-use, so you can quickly
locate relevant information about each method. Content descriptions
are brief, and references are made to other texts, papers, and case
studies. Standard descriptions of methods encourage browsing
through several potential methods before tackling a problem.
