Analysis Techniques For Man-Machine Systems Design

NATO UNCLASSIFIED- 11 - AC/243(Panel-8)TR/7Volume 2Quality assurance considerationsBecause the analysis is the starting point for subsequent human factors analyses (in conjunction with narrativemission descriptions), it is important that the information is correcL Users caution against the use of subjectiveestimates of time in the development of the time-scale. One user recommends that the profile be checked against theperformance requirements stated in the contract or statement of requirement The analysts and those setting theoperational requirements must agree on the times and events.Relationship to system performance requirementsThe analysis derives directly from the system performance requirements. It should relate directly to the requiremcntswhich describe times, events, etc.References and Bibliography1978) 1. D6ring, B.
