“…Nonetheless, the data was found to be valuable and provided us a means to estimate the model's error. Lastly, this work illustrated how validation can be approached under the typical real world constraints and is in line with other DES model validation work (Yow, Walters, Plott, Laughery, & Persensky, 2005). We have also supported the idea that iterative design in which modeling and HITL testing are used in each design cycle will enable a much better design because many design factors can be considered that one of the two methods alone cannot.…”

NASA's Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) will provide transportation for crew and cargo to and from destinations in support of the Constellation Architecture Design Reference Missions. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is one of the design methods NASA employs for crew performance of the CEV. During the early development of the CEV, NASA and its prime Orion contractor Lockheed Martin (LM) strived to seek an effective low-cost method for developing and validating human performance DES models. This paper focuses on the method developed while creating a DES model for the CEV Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, and Docking (RPOD) task to the International Space Station. Our approach to validation was to attack the problem from several fronts. First, we began the development of the model early in the CEV design stage. Second, we adhered strictly to M&S development standards. Third, we involved the stakeholders, NASA astronauts, subject matter experts, and NASA's modeling and simulation development connnunity throughout. Fourth, we applied standard and easy-to-conduct methods to ensure the model's accuracy. Lastly, we reviewed the data from an earlier human-in-the-loop RPOD simulation that had different objectives, which provided us an additional means to estimate the model's confidence level. The results revealed that a majority of the DES model was a reasonable representation of the current CEV design.

This paper proposes the methodology of analyzing the team working process using the information of factory and each worker's location. Analyzing the team working process is done through the following processes:(1) get the data of operation and each worker's location by using active RFID sensor, (2) evaluate the team working process by comparing with the representative sensor data, and (3) extract the error process automatically by using the result of evaluating team working process. The proposed methodology was applied to changing ladle operation in continuous casting. Results show that the methodology can evaluate the team working process normally and extract the unusual process which should be reported to factory manager. In addition, this method can get the new knowledge about changing ladle operation. For example, the quality of production would be poor if no worker does monitoring on pulpit.
