A nine-step selection algorithm is described which relates personnel aptitude, experience, task and equipment complexity, and degree of proceduralization in a decision chain for choosing optimum combinations of job performance aids (JPAs) and training technologies. The algorithm has been useful in (1) identifying JPA research and technology gaps, (2) identifying candidate JPA systems for Navy personnel, maintenance and training tradeoff analyses, and (3) in selecting specific JPA systems for test and evaluation in the Navy Performance Aids Test and Evaluation project. The algorithm development has also included efforts to identify and evaluate specifications and guidelines available for JPA procurement/implementation and to highlight areas where information should be gathered for an integrated JPA/training/maintenance/personnel user handbook.

A Current

Fourteen U.S. Navy personnel with Aegis Combat System, Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS), and Non-NTDS operational experience participated in an experiment designed to investigate the impact of proposed workstation designs on operator performance, system usability, and training. Human performance data were collected on a sample of operational procedures typically performed in a Combat Information Center (CIC) for a current Navy Combat System and a prototype workstation. The prototype was developed using specific human factors design principles with the goal of reducing training time, improving operator retention of skills for system operation, reducing errors in system operation, improving operator efficiency (e.g., speed & accuracy of performance), and improving user's satisfaction with the user-computer interface. This paper reports only the preliminary results for data collected from seven subjects who performed procedures using the prototype workstation.

Poor Management

Computer-related anxiety and stress affects everyone who uses a computer and is aggravated by poor management, faulty system design, inadequate training, misunderstandings by users of what computers can do, and substandard documentation. Research has shown that computer users, no matter how experienced they are, can experience anxiety and stress that negatively affect their job performance. The problem is so pervasive that no single management strategy, ergonomic plan, training model, or system design can resolve the dilemma. Physical and psychological problems that afflict computer users can be reduced only by a united effort of all people involved with designing systems, training, and operating computers within organizations. This article reviews research in the field, and outlines how management, system designers, and technical communicators can help users relieve stress and anxiety when using and learning how to operate computers. When managers, designers, and technical communicators work together, factors that create computer stress and anxiety can be identified and reduced when computer systems and training are properly designed and managed.

And Training

This paper presents the digital maintenance and digital training of digital manufacturing in the sense of reliability theory and principle of modern maintenance and monitoring technique. The main objective of the digital maintenance is to have increased availability of production systems, with increased safety and optimized cost. The digital training programmes are directed toward maintaining and improving current job performance, while development programmes seek to develop competencies for future roles. After the monitoring technique and digital training introduced; the paper presents different kind of maintenance.
