INTEGRATION IS MORE THAN A HUMAN FACTORS ISSUE

摘要

Human Factors professionals often discuss the integration of human factors within projects and the development of new systems. This paper looks at the wider issue of multi-disciplinary integration such that it ensures the inclusion of human factors in system development products. It identifies methods by which multi-disciplinary integration can be achieved on systems development projects and the actions that Human Factors professionals can take to ensure integration from an early stage. These methods will be backed up by a real world case study from a safety systems development project, where multi-disciplinary outputs have been achieved through requirements processes. The paper will finish with an approach that human factors specialists can promote within multi-discipline projects.
