Reseña del editor:

What Engineers and Managers Need to Know About Human Factors provides an introduction to the role, value, scope and the unique contributions the field of human factors can bring to the design process for all products. Aimed at the engineer and manager with no formal training in the life and social sciences, it is not intended to train the methods of human factors, but rather to provide knowledge that will enable engineers and managers to determine if including human factors in the planning and execution of product design is justified.

Reseña del editor:

This is not a how-to book, but a 'why for' book. There are excellent texts available that identify and describe the methods of human factors. Most of them have been written for people who are -or intend to be- practitioners of the discipline. As its title suggests, this book has been written to inform those people responsible for insuring that the discipline is applied at all, and that there is a need for the professional application of the discipline in both large and small companies for a truly effective product to be produced. Contents Include: Introduction; What Managers and Engineers Should Know About Human Factors; Reasons Engineers Provide for Limiting Emphasis on Human Factors; The Academic Disciplines Supporting Human Factors; Other Academic Disciplines Supporting Human Factors; Human Factors Engineering; Functions of Human Factors Personnel During System Development; Management and Human Factors; Conclusion; Appendix; Index.
