Despite continued interest in Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) there is no up-to-date book in the area and none which comprehensively documents the use of these methods in real world applications. This is a critical shortcoming as more cognitive engineers and human factors professionals seek to use CWA methods in their own work. This book demonstrates how these often complicated methods can be applied in complex, real-world design contexts, subject to constraints of cost, time, and information. It shows how, when, and where CWA techniques can be integrated into the systems engineering design process and provides concrete evidence for the value that the CWA approach provides.

Contrary to popular general sentiment that fatal accidents follow no pattern, Fatal Accidents contends that they diminish with time in an ordered fashion. It proposes a model of human behavior in which the reduction in fatal accident rates over time results from a development of skill, such that the population becomes progressively more adept at avoiding mishaps. Such changes are subconsciously and collectively regulated by the population concerned – for example, by drivers in the case of road transport – and are made possible by advances in science and technology. A similar model is applicable to the reduction of general mortality rates, to economic growth and to population growth.

Classical inventory management focuses on cost minimization as a performance measure, where many cost parameters are difficult to estimate and inventory system costs are hidden. Constantly changing in response to international competition and new technology, inventory management requires a new family of performance measures that represent situations more realistically. Establishing the foundation for new areas of research, Inventory Management: Non-Classical Views focuses on the need to design inventory systems that serve as a means of flexibility, to develop performance measures other than cost to control inventory, and to view inventory as a contributor to customer value creation.

While FMEA has helped many companies improve quality by teaching them how to avoid what can go wrong, it doesn’t show how to make things go right. That is what Success Every Time (SET) does. Developed by renowned manufacturing visionary John Casey, SET defines a logic stream for engineers to strategically incorporate no-cost or low-cost error-proofing devices to help production operators. The operators interface with their parts and tools in such a way that either the product is made correctly, or the product/process is stopped. Operators can make only good parts — nothing else. Proper implementation drives higher first time yield, while improving customer satisfaction and profits.

Emphasizing a top-down approach, this volume considers the purpose and basic features of design and how the concept of value can provide a quantitative measure of that wider interaction of the engineered object with its environment. This work also develops the domain in which functional design takes place and explores how the system concept can be embedded in that domain. It proposes a number of functional design elements and develops them in considerable detail, outlining how they can be applied as part of a coherent design framework. For greater understanding of the discussed concepts, numerous examples and analogies are included.

Lean Manufacturing

Liquid industries, including reactive chemical factories, petroleum and metal refining, food and bio-pharma production are ones that could make great use of the concepts of Lean. However, Lean manufacturing is not widely used in these industries, largely because they are naturally conservative and thanks to the times, more financially stable than most, so great case stories of successful Lean implementation are rare. This book will be the first to offer details and examples of adapting Lean manufacturing to liquid industries. It will be based on more than twenty years of industry experience from the legendary Raymond Floyd, one of the first to successfully practice Lean in the chemical industry.

Since Henry Ford sent the first chassis down an assembly line, line balancing issues have proven hard to eradicate. Often time the achievement of TAKT is an illusion. Human factors, quality of parts, variation all must be considered every day. To maintain continuous flow requires not a single fix, but requires a paradigm shift in thinking that encourages continual self-correcting. Relying on a number of successful case studies of improvements initiated by the author, this book demonstrates ways to recognize weak links and continually solve them. It offers rules, tools (including simulation software), and guidelines to eliminate problems before they start or at the root.

Principles and Practices of Lean ProductionJohn NicholasSeries: Resource Management

Since it is human nature to make mistakes, the Zero Quality Control System (ZQC) does not blame people for errors, but instead keeps errors from becoming defects by monitoring processing conditions at the source. In this breakthrough approach, mistake-proofing devices called poka-yoke are used to check and give feedback about each product or operation in the process, not just a sample. Winner of a Shingo Prize for Excellence in Manufacturing Mistake-Proofing for Operators introduces operators and assembly workers to the basic methodology of ZQC in an easy-to-read format that covers all aspects of this important manufacturing improvement strategy.

Producers of printed handbooks, textbooks, tutorials, and field guides, as well ase-books, online libraries, and interactive databases, CRC Press is a full service print and electronic publishercommitted to recording the accomplishments and supporting the work of the world’s leading practitionersand researchers.

It’s no coincidence that many of the issues in today’s headlines read like a list of CRC new releases… fromfive or even ten years ago. Just as it’s never been a coincidence that the fields of inquiry our authors pursuetoday often bear the greatest fruit tomorrow.
