CONDUCTING A HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING 3-D COMPUTER MODELING SHIP DESIGN REVIEW

摘要

The purpose of a design review is to identify human factors engineering (HFE) deficiencies in ship designs and provide solutions to eliminate these deficiencies. A thorough HFE design review was conducted on the new U.S. Navy dry cargo ammunition ship, the T-AKE, using a three-dimensional (3-D) Computer Aided Design (CAD) model.rnThis paper describes the methodology used to evaluate the T-AKE for compliance with HFE programmatic requirements and design guidance. It outlines how the design review was conducted, who was involved, and the results and findings of this review. The range and types of HFE deficiencies that were found - and later mitigated -demonstrates the value of conducting HFE 3-D CAD reviews on future ship acquisition programs.
