The Standardization of Human Factors Data 1

Abstract

Thirty-two human factors data forms used by six organizations participating in the definition of the NASA Apollo Applications Program were analyzed to develop a standard reporting technique compatible with computer data processing methods. The analysis provided a matrix of 17 data and document types by 43 content areas. Six user organizations indicated their information requirements by filling out the matrix sheet. High-frequency data items formed the basis for developing a single format that can be used initially in any manned space task equipment analysis, maintenance analysis, and training requirements analysis.
