Abstract | Human-intensive systems are complex systems in which humans are an intimate part of the system; where human beings and their decisions and actions are key elements of system success. The human-intensive system breaks when a human error is made. Virtually any business can be considered a human-intensive system for the delivery of products and/or services. In contrast, the “ordinary” systems that companies mostly deliver to customers may require human interaction to operate, but the engineer is typically not responsible for human failures in the operation of the system or device. Engineers typically develop these “ordinary” systems which may include software and hardware, and are designed to perform as expected once development is complete. Responsibility for proper usage of these ordinary systems belongs to the customer. However, the activity of those engineers in developing an “ordinary” system is in itself a human-intensive system, as the decisions and actions of the engineers greatly influence the outcome of the effort. This paper outlines the unique properties and needs of human-intensive systems, and offers an approach to improve the outcomes of human-intensive systems. This approach has been utilized for the past five years at a major defense contractor to successfully complete major internal technical initiatives which required the successful re-engineering of human-intensive product delivery systems. This paper concludes with the description and results of a practical internal change effort successfully implemented over five years at this company which resulted in a 65% productivity improvement across the engineering product design cycle. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
