This book introduces the main concepts of manufacturing systems and
presents several evaluation approaches for these systems' evaluation.
The relevant macroergonomics methods are summarized and the theoretical
framework for Macroergonomic Compatibility construct is explained. This
book presents a Macroergonomic Compatibility Model which proposes an
instrument in the form of a Macroergonomic. The authors introduce a
methodology to obtain a novel Macroergonomic Compatibility Index that
enables manufacturing companies to assess and follow their progress on
the implementation of macroergonomics practices.
