Operator Performance and Panel Layout for Discontinuous Tasks.
Abstract
The study was a follow-on to a previous investigation on panel layout. The original study using a continuous task defined and evaluated four principles of control panel layout: Sequence of use (SEQ), functional grouping (FG), location by frequency (FREQ), and location by importance (IMP). The four principles were evaluated by factorial experiments which included stress conditions and three levels of application for each of the arrangement principles. The present study replicates the original study with the exception that the continuous task was modified to make it discontinuous. (Author)
