<strong>MAP</strong>-<strong>01</strong>-<strong>01</strong>1 – <strong>HFI</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> (STGP 11)• Quicker than most HEI techniques.• Disadvantages• HTA provides additional work for the analyst.• Consistency of such techniques is questionable.• Appears to be an almost exact replica of SHERPA.• For large, complex tasks the analysis may become time consuming andunwieldy.A3.10.8CREAMThe Cognitive Reliability and Error Analysis Method (CREAM) (DTC082 -Hollnagel 1998) is a recently developed HEI/HRA method that can be used bothpredicatively, to predict potential human error, and retrospectively, to analyse andquantify error. The objectives of CREAM are to:• Identify those parts of the work, tasks or actions that require or dependupon human cognition, and which therefore may be affected by variationsin cognitive reliability.• Determine the conditions under which the reliability of cognition may bereduced, and where therefore the actions may constitute a source of risk.• Provide an appraisal of the consequences of human performance onsystem safety, which can be used in PRA/PSA.• Develop and specify modifications that improve these conditions, henceserve to increase the reliability of cognition and reduce the risk.CREAM uses the Contextual Control Model (COCOM) model of cognition whichfocuses on how actions are chosen and assumes that the degree of control thatan operator has over his actions is variable and also that the degree of control anoperator holds determines the reliability of his performance.The CREAM technique uses a classification scheme consisting of a number ofgroups that describe the phenotypes (error modes) and genotypes (causes) ofthe erroneous actions and this used by the analyst to predict and describe howerrors could potentially occur and to define the links between the causes andconsequences of the error under analysis. Within the CREAM classificationscheme there are three categories of causes (genotypes): Individual,technological and organisational causes.• Advantages• CREAM has the potential to be extremely exhaustive.• Context is considered when using CREAM.May 2006 Page A3-96 Issue 4
