What Makes an Expert
Operator?
A follow-on to the pilot project is underway, testing the
effectiveness of scenario-based training to increase
expertise of operators. This training method has the
potential to supplement simulator training at a fraction of
the investment costs...More

How Do Display Colors Impact
Operator Performance?
While research in display formatting is abundant in other
domains, it is lacking in the petrochemical industry. Jennie
Gallimore, PhD, from Wright State University, will draw on
previous research, and human factors principles to assess
the current petrochemical industry practices of color usage
in graphic displays. More... |
What are the Key Elements of
a Successful Simulator Training Program?
Millions of dollars are being expended by petrochemical
companies to provide simulator-based training programs.
However, often too little consideration is given to those
variables that will ensure success. Misty Gripper, PhD, of
Wright State University is investigating the key
determinants to successful simulator training programs.

WHAT DOES IT
DO / WHAT ARE THE
BENEFITS? |
The Center
oversees research to meet the needs of the members,
contracting with universities and human factors companies to
conduct the necessary research. The benefits
include:
|
- Sharing cost of finding
answers to common problems
- Finding methods to
enhance operator performance
- Sharing lessons/issue in
operator performance
-
Ensuring academic
rigor in the investigation of research issues
|
- Sharing in the transfer
of knowledge from human factors efforts in other domains
(e.g., Air Force, Nuclear industry)
- Helping direct/suggest
research activities
- Having access to human
factors training for plants
- Raw data and full
reports of research efforts available to members only
