摘要: |
Maintenance of complex systems such as ship propulsion/gas turbine plants poses serious human factors problems for the maintainers. Gas turbine plants typically require a team of maintainers to work with each other on different aspects of a common problem. This paper presents a model-based approach for identifying problem areas resulting from excessive workloads.
and inadequate handling of contingency situations from a maintainability viewpoint. This approach relies on modelling human behavior (i.e., actions, decisions, responses to specific events )within Modified Petri-net representations.It is shown that within this framework, it is possible to (a) identify procedural inconsistencies and ambiguities that may impair human performance; b) explicitly model contingency handling procedures; (c) compute instantaneous and sustained task-related workload; and (d) develop guidelines for determining where aiding, automation or task reallocation may be warranted. The approach along with illustrative examples is presented within the context of a selected problan area associated with the maintainability of gas turbine propulsion systems.
