A Human-Centered Systems Approach to Ship Facility Design

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 4553))

Abstract

This paper describes a systems development study that used the human-centered approach to ship facility design. The study followed human systems engineering processes for developing facility and equipment in ships, from design, test and evaluation, to manufacture and maintenance. Ship engineering and systems development procedures are re-engineered to develop an integrated process of ship facility design that considers all aspects of optimal human operations, living, and working conditions. Use of this approach will be critical to future complex ship systems design towards an integrated system life cycle that ensures best operational safety, comfort, and performance.
