| ABSTRACT | ||
| System performance is often determined by the performance of the humans in the system. Yet, system models often leave out any significant representation of the humans that are operating and maintaining them. Recently, tools and methods for modeling the human in systems have begun to receive widespread attention. These tools and methods are consistent with other types of models and simulations that are used to model other system components. In this paper, the basic approaches to modeling human performance are discussed along with a brief case study. | ||

| ABSTRACT | ||
| Models of human performance in large scale and complex systems have long served to engineers in prediction of system performance. They have also been used to identify performance shortfalls in the human-machine system under a range of anticipated scenarios. These shortfalls have then been used to predict requirements for aiding systems to augment human performance and assure safe system operation. Finally, human performance models have served the Human Factors and Cognitive Sciences by establishing a platform for the explicit instantiation of key theories of human performance. These require the stipulation of architectural and functional assumptions about the underlying process of human behavior. | ||

| ABSTRACT | ||
| The ever-increasing use of Digital
Manufacturing and Virtual Factory environments is allowing the Industrial
Engineer (IE) to be brought into the design process as a true systems
integrator. The shop-floor role moves into the computer world as digital
mockups, rapid prototyping, assembly simulation, ergonomic workplace
assessment, and robotic simulation necessitate production requirements
validation. This panel discussion will provide insight into the current
and future use of IE's and Discrete Event Simulation (DES) in a
multi-disciplinary design environment. | ||
