Description
Presented in this paper is a methodology to evaluate, analyze, and predict critical human performance. The methodology is a novel approach towards evaluating potential human error. The aim of the Critical Human Performance and Evaluation Program. (CHPAE) is to develop a methodology to control and minimize the natural sulbjectivity associated with evaluation programs. The typical approach, of the CHPAE is; (1) analyze the system or task, (2) select evaluation factors, (3) establish and prevalidate a rating manual or check list, (4) perform an analysis and evaluation;, (5) estimate potential error probabilities, and (6) perform critical comparison studies. Much work still remains to be done towards a complete and final validation of the program--partly because there is a variety of methods both computerized and manual that can, be applied to quantify the evaluations and partly because of the need of large population statistics, other than, experimental or selected source data to validate the error potential p r e d i c ti on of th e plan» Regardless of th e early limitations of the metric, the plan will perform a valuable human factors evaluation of a group of tasks, subsystems or systems.
