Conceptualizing Performance Shaping Factors in Main Control Rooms of Nuclear Power Plants: A Preliminary Study

Identifying and clustering performance shaping factors for nuclear power plant commissioning tasks

“…In spite of the HRA methods and topics, expansive studies have been conducted on PSF frameworks in specific domains, including NPP (Ekanem et al, 2016;Groth & Mosleh, 2012; J. W. Kim & Jung, 2003; J. Kim & Park, 2012; A. R. Kim et al, 2016;Lee et al, 2011;Liu et al, 2016;etc. ), industrial maintenance (Franciosi, Pasquale, Iannone, & Miranda, 2019), navigation (Gould, Røed, Koefoed, Bridger, & Moen, 2006), radiotherapy (Pandya, Podofillini, Emert, Lomax, & Dang, 2018), surgery (Onofrio & Trucco, 2018), offshore structures (Bea, 2000), marine (Xi & Hu, 2012), spaceflight (Mindock & Klaus, 2011 Among the various studies on PSF hierarchy, four have been highlighted and are considered worth reviewing in detail: J. W. Kim and Jung (2003), Groth and Mosleh (2012), Liu et al (2016), and Pandya et al (2018). Table 3 summarizes the main process of taxonomy establishment and the final PSF hierarchies.…”

“…These PSF hierarchies can also be used in comparison with PSF sets in other domains so that the characteristics of other sociotechnical systems can be better reflected. Soon to be discussed, among these existing frameworks, we have selected Liu et al (2016) framework as a template moving forwards, due to the fact that it includes plenty of detailed indicators and is built on a systematic approach. However, adaptation is in need to fit the characteristics of commissioning work.…”

“…A conceptualization PSF framework in MCRs (Liu et al, 2016) The taxonomy establishment process by Liu et al followed the general conceptualization process in social science, with the basic idea of decomposing the PSF framework into three levels (components, factors, and indicators).…”

“…The three-level PSF framework (Liu et al, 2016). PSF, performance shaping factor 7 = extremely high impact), respectively, as illustrated in Figure 3 (originally in Chinese but translated into English here).…”

“…Liu et al [7] propose a conceptualization framework to address the PSFs in the main control rooms of nuclear power plants. They describe three levels of PSFs; components, factors, and indicators.…”
