Abstract
The Computer Aided Function Allocation and Evaluation System (CAFES) is a crew systems design support tool based on human engineering methodology, computer aids, human performance data and a data management system. It is intended to support crew systems engineers in man-machine research, requirements analysis, design, test, training and maintenance systems development.
The system of computer models comprising the CAFES system parallels the system development cycle and provides the required level of detail consistent with a given stage of system development. The principle objectives of the present development program are to facilitate timely application of all essential elements of human factors technology in systems development, using automatic data processing techniques for rapid analysis and evaluation of crew subsystem performance as it effects total systems effectiveness.
