Problem Detection Sample Clauses

Problem Detection. Description Detecting problems is a critical challenge in many domains. Many theories in psychology deal with problem solving, but few describe or explain how people detect problems in complex work environments. Two critical skills include anticipating potential problems based on a mental simulation or projection of the current trajectory of a situation or event and predicting where it will go in the future. The second is the detection of a problem as the situation gradually shifts from the expected path and into territory that is unexpected and unwanted. This is even more difficult to do when the approved or acceptable trajectory of a situation or event is not well defined. For example, in a nuclear power plant or process control, there are clear parameters with regard to what represents an abnormal or unacceptable state. However, in an emergency situation, the situation is by definition abnormal, but what constitutes a problem with regard to managing that situation. Several factors impact the ability of personnel to detect problems. They relate to the problem itself, the operator/decision maker, and the types of actions that can be taken. With respect to the actor, issues relating to experience levels, actor’s “stance”, what are they paying attention to, other operators in the situation, and individual differences impact problem detection ability. With respect to the situation itself, how the data is sensed (resolution, update rate, types of data, etc.), how it is presented (uncertainty, speed of changes in values, non-linear progressions, etc), and what kind of problem it is (routine situation deteriorating; recovering situation deteriorating; multiple faults; reduced margin of safety; weakness in a plan; weakness in an action; and transient faults) all impact the ability of the operator to detect the problem. FR Scenario Example A hose team is training its hose on the second floor of a four storey building. They believe that the fire is contained in the basement and ground floor of the building and have been told to douse the fire and cool the upper floors. The fire does not seem to be going out. It’s putting up a stronger fight than they first expected. They keep the hose aimed in the same place. The smoke doesn’t seem to be changing colour as expected either. This is a really tough fire. Then one of the team notices smoking coming out from under the xxxxx of the house. Where is that smoke coming from? Has the fire spread? Or is the smoke coming up th...
