Therefore, high utilization of manufacturing capacity and low downtime due to system disturbances are of great importance. In addition to productivity and quality, the production disturbances have an effect on the safety of the personnel involved in operating and maintaining the FMS installations. The aims of this study were: (1) to determine the causes of production disturbances and their effects on the operation and safety performance of the FMS installations, (2) to analyze and compare disturbance data for the FMS installations in the U.S. and Finland, and (3) to identify ways to improve safety and efficiency in FMS implementations. The survey included 14 FMS installations in the U.S. and 31 FMS installations in Finland. The field survey questionnaire included six sections: (1) background information, (2) planning, (3) performance, (4) organization, (5) training, and (6) production disturbance situations. The analysis of system disturbances was based on the data about 35 disturbances reported in the FMS installations in the U.S. and 52 FMS-related disturbances in Finland. About 12% of all the disturbances observed in the U.S. and 35% of the disturbances in Finland caused hazardous situations or accidents. The FMS disturbances were classified into design errors, component failures, human errors, and external factors. More than one-third (34%) of the disturbances in the U.S. and in Finland (35%) were mainly caused by system design-based errors or flaws. The study results illustrate the scope of safety problems experienced in the implementation and use of flexible manufacturing systems, and provide new field data that are not systematically collected and classified today. © 1996 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.</p>","PeriodicalId":100698,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Factors in Manufacturing","volume":"6 1","pages":"57-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/(SICI)1522-7111(199624)6:1<57::AID-HFM5>3.0.CO;2-J","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90686117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, this study evaluates the individual and collective effect of FF and FB on the sensitivity and response strategy of the inspectors using a computer simulation of a contact lens inspection task. Twenty-four subjects, randomly assigned to various conditions, performed an inspection task wherein the FF and FB conditions were manipulated between the subjects. In addition, the defect probability and the discriminability were manipulated within the subjects. Subsequently, the results were interpreted using signal detection theory. Although feedback improved the sensitivity, a finding consistent with earlier studies, feedforward was more effective in assisting the inspectors in setting their response strategy closer to the optimum.

The first section outlines research programs funded by the European Economic Community (EEC) and by a selection of its member states that are relevant to the development of human factors expertise for manufacturing industry. Some of the important EEC projects are listed in an appendix. This section also describes some relevant European Directives (legal documents) and standards activities. The second section addresses trends in manufacturing industry in the EEC and associated human factors aspects, including: cost management and resource allocation; traceability; total quality; production resource management; communications; standardization; shrinkage of the design life cycle; the software-engineered manufacturing organization; “clean” manufacture; and the distributed enterprise. The third section addresses in more detail the need to reduce the design to manufacture life cycle. The “concurrent engineering” philosophy is examined from a human factors perspective, with discussion of the need for restructuring engineering knowledge, and for distributed, cooperative team working. Finally, in the fourth section, a number of issues are outlined that are of current importance to manufacturing industry and must be addressed by human factors professionals. These include: the need to understand human knowledge and expertise; the development of methods to help identify the right structure for organizations; identifying appropriate roles for people before they are determined by technology; training and retraining; the design of support software so that it is usable by end-users; and the design of appropriate interfaces for multiuser systems of the future. © 1996 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.</p>","PeriodicalId":100698,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Factors in Manufacturing","volume":"6 4","pages":"365-394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/(SICI)1522-7111(199622)6:4<365::AID-HFM4>3.0.CO;2-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87813250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
