ABSTRACT
In light of the need to integrate human factors into project management and system development, making use of the HF technology available, several HF integration (HFI) frameworks are now available. These help to select, use, and integrate HF processes, methods and tools in the context of system design and development. HFI frameworks have been adapted for various industries, such as nuclear, petrochemical, rail, aviation, and air-traffic management (ATM). These frameworks have developed primarily from the “MANPRINT” military HFI framework developed within the US Army in the 1980s. MANPRINT (Department of the Army 2001) incorporates both soldier performance and equipment within the concept of a system. MANPRINT covers seven domains: manpower, personnel, training, human factors engineering, system safety, health hazards, and soldier survivability. MANPRINT has been adapted for the UK and Canadian military environments. Indeed, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) equipment procurement projects are required to carry out HFI programs (Tainsh 1995; Ministry of Defence 2002).
