Human Engineering

The book explores the possibility of Human Engineering (HE) in a human-machine-environment system in the Indian industrial context. The term HE is not acknowledged among the industrialists as it deserves. The book provides a clear insight into the goal of HE which ensures a good fit between the workers and their job. It is less known that proper identification of the positive effects associated with HE and its intervention can result in reduction of workers’ musculoskeletal pain and discomfort, reduction of work load, reduction of working time, better working posture, increased productivity and improved working condition. The book is very much useful for academics, industrialists, operations managers, researchers and students.
