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 />

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 />
