[BOOK]: Human Factors in Systems Engineering by Alphonse Chapanis

Developed in 1996 with a 4.00 rating in goodreads.

This reference is concerned with how systems should be designed as opposed to a description of current practices. The author approaches design from the perspective of those human considerations--the human factors--that have to be taken into account to make machines and systems match the people who use and service them. Describes how to develop tools, machines, and systems so that they will be safe, comfortable and easy to use. Discusses the requirements for establishing a successful human factors program and includes 30 tables, 110 illustrations, and an extensive bibliography.
