Bytes: Impact of Alarm Rates and Interface
Design on Operator Performance
The Center
for Operator Performance, Dayton, Ohio,
funded recent research into the effects of
different alarm rates and interface designs
on operator performance. Statistically
significant effects were found. In this
podcast interview, recorded on April 16,
2010, Managing Editor Wes Iversen discusses
the results with David Strobhar, chief human
factors engineer at Beville Engineering,
Dayton, and a member of the Center. |

Leadership
Focus Podcast: Operator Performance
The people
who control chemical processes (the
operators) must monitor more equipment and
have less hands-on experience with the
process, making it harder for them to be
effective. Traci Purdum, Chemical
Processing's senior digital editor, talks
with Dave Strobar -- principal human factors
engineer for Beville Engineering. Dave is
also a guiding light behind the Center for
Operator Performance. |

Consortium
Reports New Findings on Alarm Rates
New research funded by the Center for
Operator Performance shows that process
operators may perform better at high alarm
rates when alarms are grouped by priority,
rather than chronologically. |
