Evaluating the Ability to Adjust before Human Factors Engineering is Implemented in Power Plant Maintenance

Abstract

In the realm of power plant maintenance, the role of human factors is increasingly acknowledged as critical. Human Factors Engineering (HFE) aims to optimize system performance by considering human capabilities and limitations. Yet, the fundamental prerequisite for successful HFE implementation lies in the ability of personnel to adjust and adapt. This article delves into the significance of adaptability in power plant maintenance before the execution of Human Factors Engineering. Power plant maintenance involves a complex interplay of human actions, technology, and environmental factors. Maintenance tasks demand precision, adherence to protocols, and quick decision-making abilities. Amidst this complexity, adaptability stands as a pivotal trait for maintenance personnel. Adaptability encompasses the capacity to modify strategies, skills, and approaches in response to varying conditions and challenges encountered during operations.
