ABSTRACT
There are a number of different types of design methods available, such as interface design methods and group design methods. The mission analysis technique is a cockpit design methodology that is used to generate cockpit design requirements based upon an analysis of operational procedures and requirements. Task centred system design is a quick and easy approach to evaluating system design involving the identification of the potential users and tasks associated with the design concept and evaluating the design using design scenarios and a walkthrough type analysis. Allocation of function involves the design team considering each task and the relative advantages and disadvantages associated with that task being performed by the man, or by the machine. Design scenarios offer a flexible approach to system or device design by adopting a storybook style approach to help designers and design teams propose, evaluate and modify design concepts.
