Abstract
A variety of operations research techniques and models
that are applicable to human factors engineering problems
are identified and classified according to the functions or
purposes for which they are useful. Several of these techniques
are described in sufficient detail for a human
factors engineer to determine if they are applicable to a
problem of interest. Uses for techniques are illustrated in
military-related human factors settings, primarily related
to the Navy's antiair warfare mission. References are
provided for additional information on each technique.
