Book description

The current global economic downturn and considerable shifting in industrial and manufacturing activities have disturbed the homeostasis of the industrial order. Many issues have to be examined in new context to objectively establish new and adjusted approaches. Human work productivity is one of the most important components of industrial economy and the factor that determines competiveness. All components must be considered as an integrated whole for sustained productivity. This book explores these aspects as independent factors and their impact on productivity. It discusses models integrating these factors and schemes of optimization for incorporation in practice.
