Chapter 1 – <strong>HFI</strong> within Naval Capability Acquisition<br />

1.4.2.2 <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Factors</strong> <strong>Integration</strong> Plan (<strong>HFI</strong>P)<br />

There should be an <strong>HFI</strong> section in the Through Life <strong>Management</strong> Plan for each<br />

phase, typically supported by reference out to a more detailed <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Factors</strong><br />

<strong>Integration</strong> Plan (<strong>HFI</strong>P). Effective <strong>HFI</strong> relies on good communication across<br />

technical areas and organisations, with regular access to user representatives<br />

(subject matter experts and hands-on users). See Chapter 4 for more detailed<br />

information on the <strong>HFI</strong>P.<br />

1.4.3 Integrated Test, Evaluation & Acceptance Plan (ITEAP)<br />

1.4.3.1 <strong>HFI</strong> Contribution to the ITEAP through the Procurement Cycle<br />

The Integrated Test, Evaluation & Acceptance Plan (ITEAP) is a key document<br />

defining how the project will ensure that the required ‘equipment capability’ is<br />

being produced, and then confirm that it has been. Those aspects of the<br />

capability that relate to integration between human and equipment components<br />

require <strong>HFI</strong> input to the ITEAP.<br />

The ground for ITEA must be laid during Concept, with the ITEAP completed in<br />

outline by Main Gate, and fully developed in Demonstration prior to contract let.<br />

It will then evolve throughout the remainder of the procurement cycle. See<br />

‘Practical Guidance for IPTs’ [Ref 17] for a fuller description of <strong>HFI</strong> actions for<br />

ITEA throughout the CADMID cycle.<br />

1.4.3.2 <strong>HFI</strong> Content of the ITEAP<br />

Table 1-4 introduces the <strong>HFI</strong> content needed for the ITEAP. Items should be<br />

complete by Main Gate except where noted.<br />

Background to <strong>HFI</strong><br />

requirements<br />

Describe the human<br />

component and identify key<br />

interactions between human<br />

and equipment (subject to<br />

<strong>HFI</strong> acceptance).<br />

Strategy for acceptance<br />

against <strong>HFI</strong> requirements<br />

and how it fits in overall<br />

acceptance strategy.<br />

Comment<br />

Brief philosophy underlying<br />

operability evaluation –<br />

importance of human<br />

performance as a measure of<br />

equipment operability.<br />

Identify any complicating<br />

factors, e.g. incremental build<br />

up of equipment function<br />

might prevent full role-based<br />

operability testing until later<br />

phase.<br />

Underlying principles of<br />

operability acceptance.<br />

Scope for use of common<br />

scenarios, dual use of trial<br />

opportunities, etc.<br />
