Welcome to the Center
for Operator Performance
WHO WE
ARE
Operating
safely requires redundancy of many components. Operating
competitively requires lack of redundancy of the human
component.
 We
are a diverse group of industry, vendor, and academia
representatives addressing human capabilities and
limitations with research, collaboration, and human factors
engineering. Our mission to raise the performance level of
our operators and improve Health, Safety, and Environmental
effectiveness is accomplished through:
- Openly sharing
knowledge and ideas
- Putting collaboration
ahead of competition
- Including vendors in
research decisions
- Teaming with leading
human factors researchers and universities
