Synopsis
Presenting the underlying principles for simplifying instructions, Guidelines for Developing Instructions introduces a new and relatively simple way to effectively communicate technical instructions. Proving that anyone can perform any task given the proper information in a usable manner, the authors provide a detailed set of rules on how to present straightforward and easy-to-follow instructions. They outline a simple sentence structure and basic set of action verbs for use in most instructions and demonstrate how to use graphics as an integral part of instructions. This expert advice is applicable to writing assembly procedures, operational procedures, and user, shop, and repair manuals., Confusing, inadequate instructions for setting up and using consumer products are not only unhelpful, but potentially dangerous. They may contain wrong information, poor warnings, and no pictures or illustrations. Standards are either non-existent or little known, even though the U.S. government has developed and tested standards for the past thirty years. This book presents a set of guidelines written by The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society that have been tested by human factor specialists. This expert advice is applicable to writing assembly procedures, operational procedures, and user, shop, and repair manuals.
