Critical Task Analysis

“Since the mid 80’s Monterey Technologies, Inc. has been supporting simulation-based research on Army helicopter crew station design issues for AMRDEC’s Aeroflightdynamics directorate at NASA Ames Research Center. Their work has been uniformly excellent. Two of their personnel received commendation awards for their outstanding work for us. Without question, MTI is a company we look to when facing technical barriers in human factors, and crew station design.”

“Monterey Technologies, Inc. is one of the most competent and professional companies I have had the pleasure to work with over my 37 year career. Their knowledge of human behavior in complex military systems is complementary to our simulation and modeling efforts. Dr. Hennessy’s technical reputation is nationally recognized and this knowledge directly reflects upon the outstanding technical staff he has developed. His Management Controls are superb. I look forward to working with them on the many forthcoming opportunities to provide support for our national defense and homeland security needs.”

“I have known Bob Hennessy for over twenty years. Monterey Technologies, Inc. is one of the best human factors companies around. They are currently helping us develop new approaches to aerial gunnery training and I am more than pleased with their work.”

“MTI has a sterling reputation in the human factors community for careful, high quality analyses and good value for cost. I have personally known MTI staff and about their human factors work for more than fifteen years. They always deliver a high quality product. They helped the Air Force establish the Crew System Ergonomics Information Analysis Center (CSERIAC) and recently delivered a human factors test bed for a satellite controller's workstation.”

"Monterey Technologies, Inc. has been one of my most valuable contractors for over ten years. Their work in support of the Army's Rotorcraft Pilot's Associate (RPA) simulation testing was particularly important. Their crew station design and evaluation work is first-rate. I have no problem recommending MTI to anyone who needs human factors and simulation expertise."

“The work that Monterey Technologies, Inc. team is doing for the Commonwealth of Australia developing complex mission scenarios for training our Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control mission crews is outstanding. You are our only contractor on the project who delivers more than we expect, - ahead of schedule!”

“the quality of work MTI provides to the RPT is consistently outstanding. The company obviously hand-picks it’s employees. I have never seen such a consistently excellent performance from contractors or Government organizations. We couldn’t get this job done without the support from MTI”

Our human factors specialists are specially-trained psychologists who are experts in critical task analysis. Working together with you, we’ll use cognitive science to identify potential problems in workplace situations where human error could result in personal injury, damage or loss of equipment. Why is this important? Human factors experts working early in the design process will use the critical task analysis to identify actions or situations that users (operators) could place themselves in that can result in injury, damage, or loss of life and equipment. This information is used in the design process to develop user interfaces and workplace environments that can preclude users from taking actions that could result in injury, damage, or loss. Human error is the single largest factor in aircraft incidents and accidents. Using human factors experts up front to perform critical task analysis reduces human error. Many of these could have been prevented by using human factors experts to perform critical task analysis for aircraft cockpits and airport operating environments. These incidents and accidents end up costing organizations a lot of money, and may have been avoided with the help of specialists like those here at MTI. Here’s an example of how MTI put our critical task analysis to work for the FAA. We worked with the FAA to help establish the certification guidance for multi-function displays. As a result, the FAA and MFD manufacturers have standardized and consistent guidance to ensure the safety of the aircraft, crew, and passengers. Contact us today to see how we can help you with critical task analysis for your products, or workplaces.
