Abstract |
An automated installation, together with its attendants, forms a system, the reliability, output and safety of which are dependent on both the equipment and human behaviour. The author proposes a systems-analysis method which makes allowance for ergonomic factors and also makes it possible to delegate functions to men or automatic machine systems, to best suit the capacities of each. Operating processes are presented in flowchart form which facilitates careful analysis, and logic diagrams help in forecasting the consequences of operating incidents. Objectives in operator training are also dealt with. |
