The current global economic downturn and considerable shifting in
industrial and manufacturing activities have disturbed the
industrial order. However, human work productivity is still one of
the most important components of the industrial economy and a
determining factor in global competiveness and influence as well as
the potential for technological innovation and advancement. Human
Work Productivity: A Global Perspective covers how human
productivity affects the industrial economy and competitiveness
across the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Many approaches
that have worked historically must now be reexamined and new
approaches must be developed. Integrating recent concepts related
to human work productivity for modern production
systems/organizations, this book examines how ergonomic
improvements for the human operator and/or redesign and
rearrangement of the workplace can boost individual productivity.
It also covers the impact of the aging workforce, reports on an
investigation of total productive maintenance, and considers the
efficacy of workplace design from a maintenance perspective.
Discussions of work hours and their effect on productivity, the
impact of technology, and productivity in a health care
organization complete the coverage. In any organization, all
components must be considered as an integrated whole for sustained
productivity. This book explores these components as independent
factors and examines their impact on productivity. It then
discusses models integrating these factors, creating a clear
understanding of the whole, and details schemes of optimization for
putting that understanding into practice.
