All systems are populated by users, operators, maintainers, support personnel, managers, supervisors, and others. Therefore Systems Design must include human considerations via Human Factors participation in Human Systems Integration tradeoffs and by extension the Systems Engineering process. This paper explores the contributions of Human Factors and Human Systems Integration in the Systems Design process and the greater Systems Engineering Process. The linkages between Human Factors, Human Systems Integration, and Systems Engineering will be illustrated and the need for those linkages to be strengthened by tools will be discussed.
