Programmatic Mission

post-training performance. Questions to consider include:

Will aging equipment or systems contribute to the impact on the facility

if an employee performs improperly?

Will operational transition impact the ability of the employee to perform

properly after training?

Does an operational, shutdown, or standby condition of the facility

impact the ability of the employee to perform properly after training?

Programmatic Mission

This factor addresses the concerns related to the impact training has on

accomplishing the primary mission of the facility. Potential considerations

include:

Does post-training performance impact the facility mission?

Could improper post-training performance cause the facility to lose its

ability to fulfill its mission?

If the facility is scheduled to undergo a "mission transition," what

impacts will the transition have on the post-training performance of the

employee?

Characteristics of the Facility (Complexity)

The term "complexity" refers to the integral operational, maintenance, and

technical support aspects of the facility considered from an engineering,

human factors, and safety perspective. The inter-relationship of these

elements with employee performance is of significant consequence to

technique selection. Considerations include:

After training, will the employee need to apply only basic skills, or will

synthesis and reasoning be required for proper performance?

Are there backup safety systems, system duplicity, or human factors

that impact operator performance or the level of formality and effort
