This paper describes the application of affordable program management software to the task of planning human factors programs conducted in support of complex system developments. A model of the military system acquisition process was developed and a model human factors engineering program was overlayed upon it. Interdependencies were created between the models so that changes made in the acquisition schedule would cause the human factors program to be automatically tailored. This approach has potential to reduce planning time and increase the quality of human factors plans.

Recently, information has become available about starting a human factors engineering program in industry. It appears that there is room for further practical information on this subject. This article will cover many aspects of beginning a “real world” human factors engineering program in a production industry. Tennessee Eastman Company began a human factors engineering program several years ago; this article is based on our experiences as well as some of the experiences that other companies have had.
