Features: This book elaborates on the core concept and fundamental principles of human factors engineering's "human-centered" approach, analyzes the characteristics of modern maintenance, and comprehensively discusses maintenance operation error management and human factors engineering design for equipment maintainability. It provides an in-depth analysis of the causes of maintenance operation errors and intentional violations, aiming to achieve safe, convenient, and effective maintenance. Using maintenance as an example, which is highly concerned across various industries, this book closely integrates human factors engineering with operational management and equipment maintainability design, which is a distinctive feature. In reality, both aspects are not only applicable to the maintenance field but also have considerable general applicability. The book emphasizes the explanation of basic concepts and practicality, making it useful not only for maintenance design personnel, maintenance management personnel, and maintenance technicians but also provides significant reference value for operators, operational management personnel, and designers of various equipment. It can also be used as a reference for faculty and students of relevant majors in higher education institutions and human factors engineering researchers.
