Product Fit and Sizing: Sustainable Product Evaluation, Engineering, and Design [Hardcover]

This book addresses the complexity of assessing fit and using fittings in the product design process?from a scientific and systems engineering perspective. Including: how to represent the anthropometry of the target market, good practices for reliable fit testing, and comprehensive statistical analyses for fit and sizing analysis.

Kathleen M. Robinette, Ph.D., is a research consultant specializing in anthropometry, biostatistics, and fit and sizing for product development and assessment. She has more than 45 years experience, spearheading the development, management, and transitioning of new technologies in the field of engineering anthropometry, and led the field in the development of 3-D automated human scanning and modeling for product design and evaluation.? She planned, organized, negotiated, and directed the first successful 3-D whole body human measurement survey (CAESAR), which produced more than 4,000 whole body models which continue to be used around the world today. She is a Fellow of the Air Force Research Laboratory from which she retired after 30 years of service and is an Honorary Fellow of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. She was Professor and Head of the Department of Design, Housing, and Merchandising at Oklahoma State University 2012-2015 and she established and directed the Human Factors department for Magic Leap Inc. 2015-2017 implementing fit mapping into the product development process. Kathleen has a Ph.D. in Biostatistics and Epidemiology from the University of Cincinnati, an M.S. in Mathematics/Statistics from Wright State University, and a B.A. in Anthropology from Wright State University.
