Subordinate Role

Traditionally, Naval ship design programs have placed Human Factors Engineering (HFE) in a subordinate role to ship manning, a process primarily concerned with determining the ship's complement. As a result, HFE inputs to ship design documentation are often scattered, uncoordinated and lacking in fundamental standardization. The Naval Sea Systems Command has recently initiated an effort to correct these problems through a program designed to integrate HFE technologies into the ship planning and acquisition process. One of the primary objectives of this project is the development of an HFE Design Guide to assist Navy personnel in applying HFE technologies early in the design phase of the ship acquisition process. The paper describes the current status and philosophy of this program, and evaluates an attempt to apply a preliminary model of the Guide to Naval recovery systems presently in the development stages: the Mark-14 Arresting Gear System and the Beartrap Recovery Assist, Secure and Traverse System.

Feedback Structure

Recognizing the role of human factors engineering (HFE) in the development of medical devices and combination products that involve devices, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now requires human factors (HF) validations before market approval. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their products are safe and effective through the application of HFE. However, key stakeholders are still learning and developing capabilities to adapt to the regulatory component. Nonetheless, the lack of the corresponding HF capabilities hinders compliance with the FDA’s expectations, and though ultimate success. No known previous work has looked into FDA HF validation projects to assess the underlying factors and implications of failed submissions. Applying system dynamics (SD), a causal loop diagram (CLD) was developed. CLDs are useful for the exploration of the causal interactions among factors or variables, as well as the underlying feedback structure of a complex system. This work can serve to help manufacturers better understand the FDA’s HF requirement to enable overall product success. Further, with patient safety as a common goal, HF service providers (HFSPs) and regulators should be aware of the need to ensure the consistent quality of the HF element in premarket submissions.

Future Work

Hedonomics has been defined as “ the branch of science which facilitates the pleasant or enjoyable aspects of human-technology interaction.” Hedonomics in general is a fairly new area in research and it is evidently new in ergonomics, human factors, usability and human-computer interaction (HCI). During the last ten years there has been a rapid growth in research about affect and pleasure. Considering the lack of interest from the psychological community during much of the 1900's this comes as a surprise. Affective evaluations provide a new and different perspective in Human Factors Engineering. It is not how to evaluate users — it is how the user evaluates. The research on hedonic values and seductive interfaces is in fact a welcome contrast to issues of safety and productivity, which have dominated human factors and ergonomics (HF/E). In order for industry to adopt these user-evaluating principles (as opposed to user-evaluation principles) it has to be convinced of their practical effectiveness in the workplace. This panel will focus on this issue and the role of Hedonomics in future work environments and products.
