Infos

This edited volume focuses on research conducted in the area of ergonomic design. Chapters are extensions of works presented at the International Conference on Management of Ergonomic Design, Industrial Safety and Healthcare Systems. The book addresses the need to have the knowledge of ergonomics, human factors engineering and safety engineering in order to make worksystems ergonomically designed, operationally safe and productive. It is a useful resource for students, researchers, industrial professionals, and design engineers.

Pradip Kumar Ray is presently a Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India, has more than twenty eight years of teaching, research and consultancy experience as well as eight years of industrial experience. He has published one text book titled 'Product and Process Design for Quality Economy and Reliability', thirteen book chapters, six lecture packages, and around 167 papers in international and national journals of repute and conferences in the areas of healthcare management, productivity measurement and evaluation, quality design and control, TQM, process optimization, ergonomics/human factors engineering, safety engineering and management and other related topics. His areas of interest and research include productivity modeling, quality engineering, ergonomics, safety engineering, engineering asset management and JIT-based/lean engineering operations management.

Dr. J Maiti, PhD, Professor & Head, Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India has more than seventeen years of teaching, research and consulting experience on data analytics, safety analytics, quality analytics, engineering ergonomics, and engineering systems safety design and management.
