Human Factors Engineering (HFE) Sample Clauses

Human Factors Engineering (HFE). The technical effort to integrate design criteria, psychological principles, human behavior, capabilities, and limitations as they relate to the design, development, test, and evaluation of systems. The HFE goals are to maximize the ability of Soldiers to perform at required levels by eliminating design-induced errors, and to ensure that system operation, maintenance, and support are compatible with the capabilities and limitations of the range of fully-equipped Soldiers who would be using such systems. HFE provides an interface between the other MANPRINT domains and system engineers. HFE supports the MANPRINT goal of developing equipment that will permit effective Soldier-machine interaction within the allowable established limits of training time, Soldier aptitudes and skill, physical endurance, physiological tolerance limits, and Soldier physical standards. HFE provides this support by determining the Soldier's role in the system, and by defining and developing Soldier- machine interface characteristics, workplace layout, and work environment.
