Task and Function 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”

This is the analysis of how, in detail, an assigned mission (job, assignment, activity, process, etc.) is completed, and includes a detailed description of all manual and mental activities, task and element durations, task frequency, task allocation, task complexity, environmental conditions, necessary tools or equipment, and any other unique factors involved in, or required for, one or more people to be able to accomplish the mission, job, or assignment. A task analysis typically results in a hierarchical representation of the steps it takes to perform a mission, job, assignment, activity or process. This product is referred to as a master task listing which can be used as a baseline for training system development, as it provides the quantitative basis for decisions on curriculum (what needs to be trained), time lines, training system requirements, training personnel requirements, and student throughput. The task analysis is a fundamental building block for any complex system (software, hardware, training, etc.) development effort. Engineering teams that ignore or skip over the task analysis almost always fail to develop a system or product that meets the needs of the users. Let MTI human factors experts save you money on your product, system, or process development by completing the task analysis before you begin the design process! Contact us for more information about how MTI can help you make your system or process a success.
