| Summary: | This book shows how to use ergonomics and work organization to improve working conditions, increase productivity, and enhance quality and performance. It draws together some of the basic changes being applied by enterprises worldwide, and explains briefly what they are and how others can benefit from them. It looks at practical aspects, where knowledge from research and applications of ergonomics and work organization have been used to match the work environment to the needs and characteristics of workers and processes, removing obstacles to the workers’ ability to work effectively and efficiently to produce high-quality output, and creating human-oriented work organizations and ergonomically sound environments. This will lead to major gains for workers and employers. It is aimed at managers, supervisors, workers’ representatives, engineers, trainers and consultants, particularly those engaged in processes of transformation and innovation. |
