National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1997 Ship Production Symposium, Paper Number 7: Physiological Factors Affecting Quality and Safety in Production Environment.

摘要

Physiological and psychological influences affect the reliability of human performance, particularly in shift work production environments. These influences affect all personnel and include in part the quality and quantity of sleep achieved, the effects of sleep loss, circadian influence and phase, time on task, consumption of caffeine and alcohol, the side effects of many over-the- counter and prescription medications, and other factors that are known to have an effect on performance, response time, cognition, memory, and mood state. These factors affect the quality and safety of the product, process and personnel, and should be considered throughout all phases of design, management and production.
