Computer Integrated Production Systems and Organizations

This volume deals with the design of computer-integrated manufacturing and production systems from a human-factors perspective. Based on a NATO Advanced Study Institute, it contains contributions from leading experts as well as the edited results of several workshops on the key phases of systems design: specification, design, building, and evaluation. Each phase is discussed from both theoretical and practical points of view. The contents of the book are organized into four parts: business and enterprise context of human-centred systems; information, communication, interfacing and their requirements; technology and its usability; and the systems development process and results from the group work sessions.Schmid, F. is the author of 'Computer Integrated Production Systems and Organizations', published 2007 under ISBN 9783540582755 and ISBN 3540582754.
