The Design of Human-Centered Manufacturing Systems

IFAC 2002 Milestone Report for the area “SOCIAL IMPACT OF AUTOMATION”

“…As a further example, Brandt and Cernetic (1998) discuss some practical issues of using the human-centred approach and some respective methodological elements for the design of ACT and other advanced technology systems in several European countries. Finally, Brandt, Tschiersch and Henning (2001) give a wider presentation of human-centred manufacturing systems design in its socio-technical context. This presentation is illustrated by a series of case studies from industry, service sector and research, again representing several European countries.…”

How to integrate safety in design: Methods and models

“…Furthermore, several publications have appeared dealing with approaches, concepts, methods, and tools applied to design (Brandt, Tschiersch, & Hening, 1997;de Terssac & Friedberg, 1997;Rabardel, 1995;Salau, 1995;Winner, Penell, Bertrand, & Slusarczuk, 1988;Zanettin, 1994;etc.). This article has two aims in mind: to provide an overview of the major work carried out in the field of design, and to present the INRS research project in this domain.…”
