Incorporating Human Performance Reliability Data in System Reliability Models

Abstract

An investigation was conducted to determine the minimum requirements for a human performance reliability program which would provide data for system reliability models. Systems reliability models for a machine gun were reviewed and it was concluded that, although no specific provisions were made in the model, human error data could be processed. The state of the art in human performance reliability was reviewed to determine the required components of a human performance reliability program. It was determined that adequate theoretical constructs are available, a suitable data collection vehicle exists and the general procedures to institute such a program are available.
