Define Task Networks and Analyze Task Requirements

This step will develop task requirements for manning and design of human-machine interfaces to support human performance capability and safety in a reduced manning environment.

Task analysis is conducted to further the understanding of human task performance requirements and to establish task sequences and dependencies which result in task networks to be used in network simulations of human workload and performance. Task analysis data also further the development of design concepts by serving as the basis for human-machine interface design approaches.

Task analysis data are derived from functional analysis, from systems requirement data in the MNS or ORD, and from the technology features of a specific design concept.
