Industrial Equipment

Industrial backhoe specifications. Defined the full range of user requirements and interface issues through conduct of personal interviews and task analyses. Combined that information with human engineering principles to develop a detailed specification for all features of the equipment with which the human operator interacts. (Ford New Holland)

Tractor design strategies. Consulted with design engineers and product managers on strategies for product operability, maintainability, and safety. Emphasis was on the development and application of a user-oriented design strategy for agricultural and industrial equipment, and the specification of an information system to support it. The focal point of the effort was a human factors conference with 66 participants from 11 different facilities of the company. (Deere and Company)

Tractor cab design. Supported the design of a new tractor work station and cab. Analyzed system functions; identified international differences in tractor use; assessed the variability of user characteristics; incorporated industry design standards; identified relevant human factors principles and data; developed specifications for primary and secondary controls; and evaluated design implementation. (Ford Tractor Operations)

Cementing performance improvement. Analyzed the operation of oil-field cementing equipment, attended and evaluated technical training for cementer operators, and provided equipment design recommendations at three levels of modifications to equipment in the field, changes to be incorporated during production of equipment, and guidelines for the design of conceptually new cementing equipment and systems. (Dowell)

Design of petroleum servicing equipment. Provided human factors engineering support to the design of new chemical blending and pumping equipment. Supported the development of the Treatment Monitor Vehicle, a new computer-based data acquisition and process control system for providing oil and gas drilling services. (Dowell)

Ultrasonic system design. Consulted with design engineers and product managers on operator-interface issues during the design of a new digital ultrasonic inspection instrument (the USIP 20). Defined the issues most critical to the operator interface of the instrument, and guided the design team in addressing these issues. The work was performed for a leading designer and manufacturer of ultrasonic instruments. (Krautkramer Branson)

Design of an environmental test kit. Conducted user analyses and applied human factors engineering principles to the design of the Quik-Screen test kit for detection of toxic substances in fluids. Designed the test card, user instructions, and test-kit packaging. The kit subsequently gained widespread user acceptance among agriculture inspectors. (Environmental Diagnostics, Inc.)

Facility work space arrangement. Analyzed personnel movement and work flow in a garment manufacturing facility. Specified optimal work space to support the consolidation of three company divisions into a new facility. (Sauci, Inc.)
