Using HFI PRA to assess compliance with the HFI Instructions in the AMS

This page shows the process assessments proposed to comply with the intent of the HFI Instructions in the AMS.

The AMS has 3 high-level instructions relating to HFI. These are:

The IPT Leader shall develop a Human Factors Integration plan consistent with the Through Life Management Plan. (ref:10510001)
The IPT Leader shall include Human Factors Integration in the procurement strategy (ref:10510002)
The IPT Leader shall inform the Principal Personnel Officers of any likely impact on future recruitment criteria or trade group structures which will be required to support the introduction of the product (ref:10510005)

A full set of the instructions in the AMS that relate to HFI is included here.

In the event that it is necessary to assess the extent to which a project or organisation complies with these instructions, then a Capability Evaluation of project processes necessary for HFI to meet these instructions will be undertaken.

To meet the intent of the Instructions, it is necessary to perform most of the processes in the HSL model. The remaining processes are highly desirable from the point of view of competitive advantage.

The processes identified in the 'Initial' column are proposed as being the most diagnostic; a quick assessment will give a good indication of the level of compliance.

The processes identified in the 'Mandatory' column is the minimum set needed to achieve compliance.

No.	Title	Initial	Mandatory	Required
HSL.1	Lifecycle involvement


HSL.1.1	Human-system issues in conception	Deliverables here in accordance with deliverables required for TLMP, Procurement Strategy, HFIP. Coverage of whole life is mandatory in so far as TLMP covers whole life. HFIP must address address whole life. For the purposes of brevity in compliance assessment, it is proposed that HS.1 processes are not included in Initial, that processes deemed high risk on a project-specific basis are included in Mandatory, and that all processes are included in a Required set of processes.
HSL.1.2	Human-system issues in development
HSL.1.3	Human-system issues in production and utilization
HSL.1.4	Human-system issues in utilization and support
HSL.1.5	Human-system issues in disposal
HSL.2	Integrate Human Factors
