Prevention and Remediation of Human Input Errors in ADP Operations

Abstract

This report classifies types of human errors made while entering data into automatic data processing (ADP) systems. Input error causes, effects, and prevention are discussed specifically in terms of tactical ADP systems for automated battlefield information systems. The multi-attribute utility measurement approach described described here provides a method for evaluating costs and benefits of different error-reduction techniques.
