Methods, Standards and Work Design 10th Edition: METHODS STANDARDS & WORK DESIGN 10E

Author: NIEBEL/FREIVALDS (Penn State University)
Publisher: McGraw-Hill
Publication Date: 1999-01-01
Features: This text is intended for appropriate work design courses on the junior, senior, and graduate levels. This edition updates the material of the previous edition so that it corresponds with recent technical changes, although the foremost reason for the revision is to emphasize the importance of ergonomics and work design as parts of methods engineering. There are very few textbooks that integrate both the traditional elements of motion and time study and the human factors of ergonomics into one book or, for that matter, one course. In this day and age, the industrial engineer needs to consider both the issues of productivity and their effects on the health and safety of the workers simultaneously. Through its offering of questions, problems, and sample laboratory exercises, as well as through its online provision of forms and information, "Methods, Standards, Work Design" is well suited to help instructors teach this prudent approach to their students.
