“…The MATB has been used in many human performance studies associated with multitasking like evaluating adaptive task allocation for automation monitoring (Parasuraman, Mouloua, & Molloy, 1996), task complexity [60] and the effects of medication [61]. It has also been used to evaluate single-task workload conditions [32].…”

Manufacturing is a human-driven process that applies energy and manpower to produce consumer goods. In repetitive task processes like manufacturing systems, optimal performance is extremely important for the production employee and the company.In the general fast pace of manufacturing operations, there is the potential for operator errors, which correlates to possible safety issues and loss of revenue. This research explores the influence of cognitive resources on operator performance in manufacturing operations using the Multiple Resource Theory (MRT) and mental workload measures. Computer simulation models and mathematical modeling with Improved PerformanceResearch Integration Tool (IMPRINT) were used to assess mental workload resources to improve human system design for performance of the shop floor employee. This research presents the design, analysis and experimental implementation of a theoretical framework that provides a systematic approach for measuring mental workload using a combination of analytical and empirical techniques. Two experiments are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed framework. As manufacturing operations become more complex, models can be used to provide recommendations for operator mental workload capacity planning. Therefore, this work is important to industry as manufacturing operations are changing by requiring more complex procedures, which increases the cognitive demand of the operator.iii

“…While these types of studies have been conducted for more than thirty years (Asknes, 1954), quantitative comparisons between simulator and aircraft performance originally began in 1975, using data obtained from an existing experiment (Billings, Gerke, and Wick, 1975). Many studies have examined physiological strain induced by environmental stressors (Brown et al, 1969), or changes in performance in relation to pharmaceutical interventions (Caldwell, Roberts, and Jones, 1999), and some included measurements of specific maneuvers in each platform (Hasbrook and Rasmussen, 1971). While a single study in fixed-wing aircraft did produce comparable performance measures (Magnusson, 2002), all other comparison studies have shown that there were significant, statistically demonstrable differences in pilot performance between simulated and actual aircraft platforms.…”
