La ergonomía como estructura de innovación en la ingeniería de proyectos de organizaciones productivas


Book Description

Este trabajo presenta tres enfoques de la ergonomía y la manera como estos contribuye a potenciar la innovación en la ingeniería de proyectos, dentro del escenario concreto de las organizaciones productivas. La ergonomía integra variables de diseño y ofrece métodos de abordaje que propician procesos de innovación, en primera instancia tecnológica y organizacional, para consolidarse posteriormente en una innovación social y cultural. De esta manera, solventa la tradicional inconsistencia de la ingeniería de producción que centra el diseño en la tecnología, ignorando con frecuencia tanto el análisis de la interacción con el ser humano, como las características socio técnicas de los sistemas de trabajo. Con base en la macro ergonomía, la antropotecnología y la ergonomía participativa, se plantean cuatro principios-de la ergonomía como estructura para la innovación: el enfoque sistémico con énfasis en la complejidad, la escalabilidad, la actividad humana y los procesos participativos. Este planteamiento teórico se hace explícito mediante la presentación de casos que ejemplifican la contribución de la ergonomía a los procesos de innovación. La innovación no se debe orientar sólo al mercado: con la ergonomía es posible innovar los procesos de producción, sistemas de trabajo y formas de gestión, que mejoran la competitividad, el bienestar y la calidad de vida en el trabajo.

Designing Software Architectures


Book Description

Designing Software Architectures will teach you how to design any software architecture in a systematic, predictable, repeatable, and cost-effective way. This book introduces a practical methodology for architecture design that any professional software engineer can use, provides structured methods supported by reusable chunks of design knowledge, and includes rich case studies that demonstrate how to use the methods. Using realistic examples, you’ll master the powerful new version of the proven Attribute-Driven Design (ADD) 3.0 method and will learn how to use it to address key drivers, including quality attributes, such as modifiability, usability, and availability, along with functional requirements and architectural concerns. Drawing on their extensive experience, Humberto Cervantes and Rick Kazman guide you through crafting practical designs that support the full software life cycle, from requirements to maintenance and evolution. You’ll learn how to successfully integrate design in your organizational context, and how to design systems that will be built with agile methods. Comprehensive coverage includes Understanding what architecture design involves, and where it fits in the full software development life cycle Mastering core design concepts, principles, and processes Understanding how to perform the steps of the ADD method Scaling design and analysis up or down, including design for pre-sale processes or lightweight architecture reviews Recognizing and optimizing critical relationships between analysis and design Utilizing proven, reusable design primitives and adapting them to specific problems and contexts Solving design problems in new domains, such as cloud, mobile, or big data
