THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HUMAN EFFECTIVENESS FUNCTION ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY (HEFAM).
Abstract
The study was conducted in an attempt to meet the Navy's need for improved methods of assigning functions to men, machines, or man/machine combinations in new systems under development. Rapid development of Navy technology has increased the opportunity to automate functions and tasks traditionally performed by humans. Although system reliability is often increased by automation, the cost is frequently also increased. Faced with definite mission requirements and limited financial resources, the Navy must select those function allocation alternatives which optimize cost/effectiveness during the lifetime of the system.
