Sample Contents of a Transfer Package. The table of contents of a sample transfer package developed as part of the Research for Service Analysis for an FAA acquisition is provided below. Note that many of the included artifacts have important HF content based ...

Research for Service Analysis: Conclusion Triggers. Research for Service Analysis is triggered by identification of an operational need or opportunity to improve performance. In order to help ensure that an acquisition meeting such an operational need will be...

Service Analysis and Strategic Planning (SASP) is the first stage in the formal AMS process once a proposed acquisition investment has been approved for evaluation by the FAA Joint Resources Council.  In this stage the HF aspects of operational needs, shortfa...

HF Involvement. SASP indicates: “The service organization or program office, facilitated by the Human Factors Division (ANG-C1), should address HF as early as practical to minimize technical, programmatic, and operational risk. In order to assess the appropria...

HF Aspects of Shortfalls. There are many types of shortfalls that should be considered, such as missing functionality, bad business process, data coming from a source that is not a trusted source (authoritative or approved replicated sources), data availabilit...

HF Aspects of Concept Changes. This effort focuses on the specification of changes in the operational concept that encompass an explicit set of use cases and scenarios. This requires participation in meetings discussing use cases, reviewing use case outlines a...

The Concept & Requirements Definition (CRD) Stage of the Acquisition Management System (AMS) process begins with: Contacting ANG-C1 for guidance and determining whether it is appropriate to appoint a Preliminary FAA HF Coordinator (FAA HFC) The Preliminary F...

Conduct HF Assessments to Support Refinement of Concepts. As indicated in crdguidelines.pdf (faa.gov): “The alternatives developed during the CRD phase will be high-level concepts, and thus referred to as preliminary alternative descriptions.” These alternati...

Conduct HF Assessments to Support Refinement of Operational Shortfalls. During the CRD phase, HF updates are provided to finalize the shortfall analysis (a qualitative assessment of any human performance gaps where they exist and quantification of the human pe...

HF Assessments to Support Development of Solutions and Requirements. The analysis of solutions and requirements needs HF input regarding task allocations, along with completion of a function analysis focused on the performance of the operator and on interactio...

HF Input to Preliminary Program Requirements Document. During CRD, the Preliminary FAA HFC will interact with the FAA Systems Engineering Management Team to create the preliminary Program Requirements Document (PRD). This includes providing HF Critical Operati...

The Investment Analysis (IA) stage of the Acquisition Management System (AMS) process consists of two sub-stages: Initial Investment Analysis and Final Investment Analysis.  The Initial Investment Analysis begins with designating an FAA HF Coordinator (FAA HF...

Creation of Human Factors Working Group (HFWG). The role of the HFWG is to assure that all HF issues and concerns are identified and successfully addressed during the course of solution development. The HFWG may include the FAA HFC, operator representation, In...

HF input for Substages of Investment Analysis. The HF input is provided for both the initial and final stages of IA. Initial Sub-Stage of IA. The role of the FAA HFC during the initial stage of IA is to: analyze HF impacts of each alternative or to supervise ...

HF Aspects of Operational Needs. The FAA document “Guidelines for Service Analysis & Strategic Planning (SASP) and Concept & Requirements Definition (CRD)” indicates that, as part of SASP (Service Analysis and Strategic Planning):  “Using a service-level ap...

Preliminary FAA Integrated HF Program (FAA IHFP). One of the products of CRD produced by the preliminary HFC is a preliminary FAA IHFP. The recommended format and content is available at FAA IHFP. This document includes: Purpose, scope, and objectives of th...

FAA HF Coordinator (FAA HFC) Responsibilities. In support of the implementation based on the Solution ConOps and requirements, the FAA HF Coordinator is responsible for: Conducting HF activities or overseeing their completion by a contractor (see the follow...

General FAA HF Coordinator (HFC) Responsibilities. In the previous sections, the role of the FAA HFC prior to the award of a contract for Solution Implementation (SI) has been described. The FAA HFC continues to play an important role during SI, tailored to ma...

Team Formation (HFC) Responsibilities. The FAA HFC plays several roles in Solution Implementation (SI): Step 1. Adding the SI Contractor HFC to the Human Factors Working Group and revising the membership of that group as needed Step 2. Providing members fo...
