1. Human Work Productivity

   A Global Perspective

   Edited by Shrawan Kumar, Anil Mital, Arunkumar Pannethur

   The current global economic downturn and considerable shifting in industrial and manufacturing activities have disturbed the homeostasis of the industrial order. Many issues have to be examined in new context to objectively establish new and adjusted approaches. Human work productivity is one of...

3. Biomechanics in Ergonomics, Second Edition

   Edited by Shrawan Kumar

   Safety or comfort? Can you truly have one without the other? Is it feasible to have both? Although by no means the only factor, a deep understanding of biomechanics plays a leading role in the design of work and workplaces that are both pain and injury free. Standing firmly on the foundation built...
