TECHNOLOGY FOR MANPOWER, PERSONNEL, TRAINING AND SAFETY TRADE-OFF DECISIONS

THIS PROJECT WILL DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF AND DEVELOP THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR AN INTEGRATED HUMAN FACTORS (HF)/LOGISTICS SUPPORT ANALYSIS (LSA)/MANPOWER, PERSONNEL, TRAINING, AND SAFETY (MPTS) ANALYSIS PROCESS AND WORKSTATION. THE WORKSTATION WILL SUPPORT THE DESIGN PROCESS FROM CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ORDER DATA. THE PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE FOCUSES UPON THE MANPOWER BY MAINTENANCE SPECIALTY IMPLICATIONS OF THE RELIABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY (R&M) ALLOCATION PROCESS IN THE EARLIEST STAGES OF DESIGN. HF AND MPTS ANALYSES DURING DETAIL DESIGN ARE TO BE SUPPORTED BY AUTOMATING DETAILED TASK ANALYSIS TO SUPPORT HUMAN FACTORS, SAFETY ANALYSIS, AND TRAINING AND PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS. THE LAST STEP IN THE PROPOSED INTEGRATION STRATEGY IS TO DEVELOP THOSE PRODUCTS SUCH AS INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND TECHNICAL ORDERS, CURRENTLY DEPENDENT UPON DETAILED TASK ANALYSIS, BY THE AUTOMATED TASK ANALYSIS FACILITY DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT HF AND MPTS ANALYSIS.
