Recently aviation accident data shows that many fatal accidents in aviation are due to airworthiness issues despite the fact that all civil and private aircraft are required to comply with the airworthiness standards set by their national airworthiness authority. This paper presents a unique approach to continuous airworthiness problems optimization needed to reduce the risk associated with the gap between aircraft designers & manufacturing organization and continuing airworthiness (state of civil aviation authority and air operators). As a result of the paper summarizes these problems and searching of the possible solutions to be optimized, these problems are achieved to get more integration between (designers& manufacturing and air operators), finally the recommendations are drawn to address the safe operation of the aircraft and can be given to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) for more integration between all of them structure.

“…The changes may involve modifi cations of equipment design, work methods, operation procedures, job aids, performance feedback, layout, environmental conditions, and so forth. Swain (1973) presented a program called the Error Cause Removal (ECR) program. The principles are as follows (Miller & Swain, 1986):…”

This article presents the results o f an evaluation and com parison study of three subjective techniques fo r determ ining human reliab ility under stress fo r w ork perform ed at tw o Taiwanese security companies. Stress levels at security com panies were estimated by using the Unified Tri-service Cognitive Performance Assessment Battery and 40 participants from tw o similar-sized companies. Experim ent results (m em ory searching task and m athem atical processing task) in d i cated that the participants were under high levels o f stress. Three subjective techniques (Success Likelihood Index M ethod, Technique fo r Human Error Rate Prediction, and Human Error Assess m ent and Reduction Technique) fo r estim ating human error probability were evaluated and com pared by using 20 experts fo r six tasks. The com parison criteria are interjudge consistency and accuracy. Of the three human error probability tests studied, the Technique fo r Human Error Rate Prediction and Success Likelihood Index M ethod were more consistent than the Human Error Assessment and Reduction Technique. The same relationship occurred in the com parison of accuracy. Thus, the Human Error Assessment and Reduction Technique m ay need to be m odified in some w ay if it is to be useful. It was already known that this technique required m odifications in error-producing conditions and nom inal human unreliability. Our w ork presents additional evidence to substantiate this. w ork stress human reliability analysis

An Error-Cause Removal Program for Industry

Abstract: This paper describes a worker-participation program to reduce human errors in an industrial plant to an acceptable minimum. It gives suggestions for initiating and carrying out the program and includes experiences of some industrial plants using worker-participation programs.
