DOWNLOAD EBOOKAnalyses were made to compare job performance aids (JPAs) and technical orders (TOs) in terms of the process by which they are developed, their contents, and their production costs. Throughout the comparisons, some attention was given to the functions that each type of technical data best supports. In comparison to TOs, JPAs are developed by a more rigid process which starts with systematic descriptions of maintenance tasks and personnel. In content, JPAs normally have many more illustrations, more blank space and a simple standard format for rather detailed directions. Currently available cost data do not support any substantive conclusions about the initial and long term relative costs of TOs and JPAs for a given system. Additional pertinent conclusions were: (1) Any technical data system used by maintenance men must include an illustrated Parts Breakdown, (2) Providing both JPAs and TOs to a given maintenance technician would not be optimal, (3) Technical data should be developed according to a systematic procedure which includes task analysis and a description of the users, (4) Future technical data should be adaptable to various modes of presentation, (5) Unambiguous guidance for the performance of troubleshooting tasks is highly desirable, (6) Illustrations and standardized language increase the utility of technical data for maintenance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHuman factors measurement has characteristics that set it apart from psychological or engineering measurement and for that reason, human factors testing and evaluation deserves special treatment. The many excellent texts available in the behavioral area do not give an adequate picture of this topic, and this is particularly unfortunate because testing and evaluation (T&E) is an integral part of human-machine system design and operation. The emphasis in this book is on why and how to conduct such testing. One of its outstanding features is its pragmatism; based on his past experience in system testing, the author recognizes the difficulties that occur in testing and indicates how these may be overcome or minimized. Special attention has been paid to the context in which T&E is conducted. Although the book contains detailed procedures for performing T&E, the logic and the conceptual foundation of testing have not been overlooked. Comparisons are made with laboratory-centered experimentation. For those with research interests, the author points out the many research questions that can be answered by system testing. An illustrative case history of a T&E program for a fictional system has been included to provide ``real life'' context. Special problem areas in T&E are emphasized, in particular human error data collection, the evaluation of computerized systems and software, the measurement of maintenance technician and team performance; workload and training effectiveness testing. Special attention is also paid to environmental testing (e.g. temperature, lighting, noise, vibration, etc.). One chapter reviews all the relevant T&E literature including government documents that may not be readily available to the general reader. As part of the preparation for writing this text a survey was made of 45 distinguished T&E specialists in order to determine their characteristic T&E practices.The book will be useful not only to the human factors professional who specializes in T&E, but to all students and practitioners interested in human factors and work measurement.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report details the research on preparation, production, distribution, evaluation and verification of Air Force maintenance technical data. It highlights the impact of management on the procurement of accurate, timely, and economical data and identifies the areas in which management was found to be deficient. It points out the specific shortcomings in the data, in its preparation, distribution, and use. Finally, the report recommends actions considered necessary to first, improve management of the overall technical order system, and second to enhance the quality, usefulness, and timeliness of the data produced.
