Human Factors in the Design of Manufacturing Systems

TL;DR: The contribution of human factors studies to industry is discussed in this paper, where contributions can be made in two areas, product design and the design and use of manufacturing equipment, and some of the work done on ordinary manufacturing equipment is described.

The ergonomics of open-fronted C-frame presses.

TL;DR: The survey showed that many features of press design were in disagreement with ergonomics criteria, often markedly so, and that these presented potentially important limitations to performance.

Measurements of environmental noise in agriculture

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared noise environments from machinery operating tasks and a small number of other working situations on the farm with limits proposed for hearing conservation and are also intended for comparison with previously published audiology data from tractor drivers and general farm workers.

Noise and vibration problems in commercial vehicles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of diesel engines on the noise and vibration of light delivery van and found that diesel engines operate at considerably higher peak pressures and higher rates of pressure rise and these result in considerably greater noise and vibrations.
