To Develop Viable Human Factors Engineering Methods for Improved Industrial Use

• Human factors engineering methodology is important for design ofcomplex systems, such as control rooms and distributed control systems.Available methodologies are however seldom adapted to industrial needs,which limits the use of the existing human factors engineering research base. Inthis paper we argue that human factors engineering methods have to bedeveloped and adapted to the engineer working under industrial projectconstraints. Otherwise human factors engineering is unlikely to achieve a broadindustrial impact. The paper suggests how the industrial viability of methodscan be improved by applying a use centered approach to method development.
