Forsythe, Chris, Karwowski, Waldemar, Baba, Marietta, Wiebe, Eric N., Lahlou, Saadi and Ashby, M. Rodema (1995): Human Factors in Agile Manufacturing. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 538-542.

“The contributions of human factors to agile manufacturing are as varied as the numerous human components that constitute an industrial enterprise. As a framework for discussing some specific examples relevant to the elements of agility identified above, human factors contributions are categorized as follows: (1.) development of business practices; (2.) design of enabling technologies and (3.) management of the introduction and fielding of new technologies and business practices. The panel session will provide an introduction to these contributions, and an accounting of past and ongoing work.”

Forsythe, Chris and Ashby, M. Rodema (1995): User-Driven Product Data Manager System Design. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 1170-1174.

“With the infusion of information technologies into product development and production processes, effective management of product data is becoming essential to modern production enterprises. When an enterprise-wide Product Data Manager (PDM) is implemented, PDM designers must satisfy the requirements of individual users with different job functions and requirements, as well as the requirements of the enterprise as a whole. Concern must also be shown for the interrelationships between information, methods for retrieving archival information and integration of the PDM into the product development process. This paper describes a user-driven approach applied to PDM design for an agile manufacturing pilot project at Sandia National Laboratories that has been successful in achieving a much faster design-to-production process for a precision electro mechanical surety device.”
