Human Factors Engineering Tool Evaluation - Technical Approach and Program Plan
Abstract
This document describes the results of Phase 1 of a multi-year program intended to identify and validate tools and techniques that can be used to assist human factors engineering (HFE) practitioners during the military's normal weapon system acquisition process. Once validated, the tools will be supplied to U.S. Navy laboratories where HFE practitioners can benefit from the assistance of these tools. A detailed literature review was conducted to obtain data from previous surveys of HFE tools and information on how such tools may be evaluated and validated. A HFE Procedures Taxonomy was developed to categorize the various tools. This Taxonomy was based on: (1) five weapon system acquisition phases, (2) 115 HFE procedures or tasks commonly carried out during these phases, and (3) various attributes of the procedures and tools. Tool types recommended for further evaluation and validation are described, and the validation process is described.
