Download or read book Handbook of Human Systems Integration written by Harold R. Booher and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-07-07 with total page 996 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking look at how technology with a human touch is revolutionizing government and industry Human Systems Integration (HSI) is very attractive as a new integrating discipline designed to help move business and engineering cultures toward a more people-technology orientation. Over the past decade, the United States and foreign governments have developed a wide range of tools, techniques, and technologies aimed at integrating human factors into engineering systems in order to achieve important cost and performance benefits that otherwise would not have been accomplished. In order for this new discipline to be effective, however, a cultural change is needed that must start with organizational leadership. Handbook of Human Systems Integration outlines the principles and methods that can be used to help integrate people, technology, and organizations with a common objective toward designing, developing, and operating systems effectively and efficiently. Handbook of Human Systems Integration is broad in scope, covering both public and commercial processes as they interface with systems engineering processes. Emphasizing the importance of management and organization concepts as well as the technical uniqueness of HSI, Handbook of Human Systems Integration features: * More than ninety contributors, technical advisors, and reviewers from government, industry, and academia * Comprehensive coverage of the most recent HSI developments, particularly in presenting the cutting-edge tools, techniques, and methodologies utilized by each of the HSI domains * Chapters representing the governments and industries of the United Kingdom and Canada * Contributions from three services of the Department of Defense along with the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Academy of Sciences * Many chapters covering both military and nonmilitary applications * Concepts widely used by government contractors both in the United States and abroad This book will be of special interest to HSI practitioners, systems engineers, and managers, as well as government and industry decision-makers who must weigh the recommendations of all multidisciplines contributing to systems performance, safety, and costs in order to make sound systems acquisition decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PERSPECTIVE This book is important to everyone concerned with the design and development of people-oriented systems. The Manpower and Personnel Integration (MANPRINT) program is a major military system procurement initiative adopted by the Army to focus on the needs and capabilities of the soldier. This program is unique in that it integrates six areas of user concerns which include human factors engineering, manpower, personnel, training, health hazards, and system safety throughout the development cycle of Army materiel. Even though MAN PRINT was developed for Army systems, the philosophy and techniques used in this program extend well beyond military systems used by soldiers. It can be applied to all products and systems used by people such as automobiles, airplanes, boats, control rooms, automated manufacturing, telecommunications, computers, and medical equipment. Interestingly, the impetus for MAN PRINT came from the senior managers who buy these systems. During the early and mid-1980s, two Army generals, M. R. Thurman and R. M. Elton, who served successively as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, were instrumental in fostering MANPRINT development. By the end of the 1980s, this program was integrated throughout the standard procurement system of the Army. The formal statement of acquisition policy is contained in Army Regulation 602-2.
Download or read book Human Systems Integration Requirements for Air Force Acquisition Programs written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DoD policy requires that critical human factors such as personnel and training be addressed throughout the acquisition process to influence system designs and to identify resource constraints. Costs and operational effectiveness of new systems associated with resource constraints should be a major consideration at each acquisition milestone decision. Resources in support of new systems should be committed and programmed by Milestone II and Milestone III decisions, respectively. This report is our second and final report on human systems integration. The overall objective was to determine whether the Air Force's internal controls and procedures are adequate to ensure that manpower, personnel, and training requirements are planned effectively for operation and maintenance of new weapon systems. We also determined whether resources were committed or programmed for new personnel and training requirements. To accomplish the audit objectives, we focused on system acquisition programs that were in phases II and III. Program managers did not adequately address human systems integration during the acquisition process. Consequently, the Air Force may field mission-essential weapon systems without enough properly trained personnel for sustained operations in wartime.

Download or read book Human System Integration in the System Development Process written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-07-15 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1991 BusinessWeek ran a cover story entitled, "I Can't Work This ?#!!@ Thing," about the difficulties many people have with consumer products, such as cell phones and VCRs. More than 15 years later, the situation is much the same-but at a very different level of scale. The disconnect between people and technology has had society-wide consequences in the large-scale system accidents from major human error, such as those at Three Mile Island and in Chernobyl. To prevent both the individually annoying and nationally significant consequences, human capabilities and needs must be considered early and throughout system design and development. One challenge for such consideration has been providing the background and data needed for the seamless integration of humans into the design process from various perspectives: human factors engineering, manpower, personnel, training, safety and health, and, in the military, habitability and survivability. This collection of development activities has come to be called human-system integration (HSI). Human-System Integration in the System Development Process reviews in detail more than 20 categories of HSI methods to provide invaluable guidance and information for system designers and developers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is designed to help proceduralize the human-systems integration (HSI) process by linking the flow of HSI analyses in the systems acquisition process to tools that can support those analyses. The initial sections of this report describe how this report is intended to be used, define acquisition-process and HSI terminology, and provide some HSI metrics. All HSI domains are explicitly addressed with the exception of habitability. Techniques for confirming that HSI requirements have been satisfied are also addressed. The following are included in tabular form with links that reflect the flow of analyses as HSI is integrated within the system acquisition process: The DoD acquisition process and milestones; The acquisition phases and associated HSI activities; Tool categories for responding to different HSI questions. Detailed information about specific HSI tools including: (1) a description of the tool, (2) the tool inputs, (3) the tool outputs, (4) specific HSI metrics the tool supports, and (5) a rough estimate of the level of effort expected to use the tool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Human Systems Integration (HSI) Standard Practice identifies the Department of Defense (DoD) approach to conducting HSI programs as part of procurement activities. This Standard covers HSI processes throughout design, development, test, production, use, and disposal. Depending on contract phase and/or complexity of the program, tailoring should be applied. The scope of this standard includes prime and subcontractor HSI activities; it does not include Government HSI activities, which are covered in the DoD HSI Handbook. HSI programs should use the latest version of standards and handbooks listed below, unless a particular revision is specifically cited in the contract. The purpose of this standard is to define, for industry, the standard practice required for procurement activities with regard to Human Systems Integration. This standard has been written to address a need within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), but its applicability is not limited to the DoD.

Download or read book The F119 Engine A Success Story of Human Systems Integration in Acquisition written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense recently mandated the incorporation of Human Systems Integration (HSI) early in the acquisition cycle to improve system performance and reduce ownership cost. However, little documentation of successful examples of HSI within the context of systems engineering exists, making it difficult for the acquisition community to disseminate and apply best practices. This article presents a case study of a large Air Force project that represents a successful application of HSI. The authors explore the influence of both the Air Force and the project contractor. Additionally, they identify top-level leadership support for integrating HSI into systems engineering processes as key to HSI success, reinforcing the importance of treating HSI as an integral part of pre-Milestone A activities.
Download or read book A Discourse in Human Systems Integration written by Anthony P. Tvaryanas and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation tackles, head on, two fundamental questions: What is human systems integration (HSI) and how should one think about HSI problems? The objective was to develop a coherent systems method to improve the integration of HSI domains to create sustainable systems while preserving system stakeholder preferences. This dissertation addresses these questions by accomplishing two things: 1) extracting the lessons learned from a historical analysis of the emergence of HSI both as a philosophy and as a Defense Department program, and 2) using those lessons to characterize and illustrate a technical approach to addressing HSI considerations early in an acquisition process. It is shown that the discourse on general systems that occurred over the latter half of the twentieth century, coupled with pressing organizational factors within the U.S. Army, were the principal forces that shaped and drove the emergence and formal recognition of HSI. As determined from this historical analysis, HSI involves the integration of the behavioral sciences, human factors engineering, and operations research to more broadly represent human considerations in early weapon system analyses and the products that evolve from these analyses. Inclusion of HSI in system analyses necessitates a holistic perspective of the performance and economic trade space formed by the synthesis of the HSI domains. As a result, individual domain interventions are considered in terms of tradeoff decisions. Ideally, the HSI trade space can be systematically explored by integrating Simon's research strategy, Kennedy and Jones' isoperformance approach, and coupling isoperformance with utility analysis through means such as physical programming. Although domain tradeoffs are a central element of HSI, very few studies illustrate the integration of the behavioral sciences and human factors engineering with the tools and methodologies of operations research. Accordingly, three case studies are presented: a preexisting opportunistic dataset of potential Air Force unmanned aircraft pilots, a prospective dataset of Army Soldiers in Basic Combat Training, and data derived from simulation of staffing and shift scheduling solutions using a biomathematical model. Lastly, guidelines for a New HSI method and future challenges are discussed.

Download or read book Strategic Issues Facing U S Navy Human Systems Integration Professionals written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Systems Integration (HSI) is an emerging discipline that supports defense acquisition. Analysis and interrelationships among tradeoffs across eight fields are done to assist planners, designers and operators in systematically acquiring and developing defense weapon systems. Strategic issues represent relevant challenges and problems facing this community over the next few years, including appropriate pay-back tours from officers receiving master's degrees from the NPS. The study describes important issues in the form of questions that Navy leadership can do something positive about. The following summarizes several findings: (1) There is no clear point of contact representing and responsible for all HSI actions and policies; (2) There is an underutilized, existing infrastructure of Human Performance Centers (HPC) apparently unfunded beyond FY08; and (3) There is no attractive career path for HSI officers, i.e., graduating officer placement appears ad hoc, often in areas unrelated to the HSI field. Recommendations include using HPCs and modifying their mission to make use of current infrastructure, including providing career milestones for affected officers and civilians. In sum, decision makers can improve research, development, and performance of defense weapons systems by ensuring the survival and infusion of HSI skilled personnel into the core processes of defense acquisition.
Download or read book The Adult Learner written by Malcolm S. Knowles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
