Human Factors in the Industry

About 80% of all operational errors can be attributed to human factors. Nevertheless, very few companies systematically address this source of error. This results in unnecessary complaints and error-related costs. Our new reference book focuses on human factors in industry and highlights opportunities for reducing human errors and increasing efficiency.

Reference book Human Factors in der Industrie - Prof. Dr. Martin Hinsch + Jens Olthoff

For years, day-to-day operations in industrial companies have been characterized by ever-increasing complexity, a flood of information and documentation, the need for intensive teamwork, and constantly changing operating conditions. Since the aviation industry has decades of experience in such an environment, this book explains, in easy-to-understand language, the tried-and-true concepts and work methods of this sector, which can be effectively applied to the operational practices of industrial companies. The focus is on measures related to team interaction, communication, process orientation, error-prevention concepts, and the limitations of human performance.
