HFETAG - Design: Tools & Techniques

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know the The Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group is composed of 19 sub Technical Advisory Groups? One of those is the Design: Tools & Techniques SubTAG. The Design: Tools and Techniques SubTAG is focused on the tools and methods that ensure Human Engineering can enhance human system interfaces and prevent human error or injury. The SubTAG is concerned with tools, techniques, analyses, and databases which facilitate human performance considerations throughout a system’s lifecycle; as well as the measurable impact human engineering has on manpower, personnel, training, safety, health and biomedical requirements, and survivability. Five key functions are defined for the Design: Tools and Techniques SubTAG. These are to: -Develop and maintain a detailed, categorized list of HE tools and methods; -Provide a repository where government-owned human engineering tools and related training can be housed and shared; -Identify gaps where HE tools and methods are needed -Spur joint efforts that will promote the development of needed tools and methods that enhance HE equipment, systems, and facilities designs and provide a forum for the exchange of technical information and identification of points of-contact within the DoD, other government agencies, and affiliated organizations.
