Enhancing industrial performance : experiences of integrating the human factor / Harmen Kragt
Sumario: Enhancing industrial performance refers to the case book that focuses on the effective implementation of sociotechnical innovation, describing real experiences with the management of the human-computer interface. It argues for an ergonomic approach to systems design and evaluation; human factors audits in systems prototyping; user participation in the design process; human centred organizational design; and matching human resources with technological investment.
