Lecture 10: Systems Usability
Our guest lecture by Dr. Jari Laarni at VTT will focus on systems usability work at nuclear power plants in Finland.
Abstract: When people are talking about complex technical systems, a nuclear power plant has been typically presented as an ideal example. Controlling this kind of complex system (or system of systems) is a challenging enterprise. To manage this complexity, a more agile, lean and continuous engineering approaches are required. We have advocating in several projects continuous and phased Human Factors evaluation of complex technical systems, which is conducted in several stages in sequence so that cumulative evidence of the validity of the new systems is achieved. In my presentation I will cover, e.g., the following topics:
- Different views on system evaluation throughout the life cycle of complex technical systems
- Contextual approach to Human Factors evaluation
- Systems Usability Case approach
- Application of virtual reality technology in continuous evaluation of control rooms
- Human Performance Monitoring and “in-service validation” of technical systems
- Lessons learned from Finnish cases
- Different views on system evaluation throughout the life cycle of complex technical systems
