This site provides information for FAA program and engineering managers, FAA human factors coordinators and user teams for managing the effective integration of human factors in the FAA acquisition process supporting Air Traffic Control, Air Traffic Flow Management, Air Traffic Facilities and Technical Operations. The figure below indicates the stages included in the FAA’s formal Acquisition Management System (AMS) process.

This site was produced through a cooperative agreement between The Ohio State University and the FAA.

 1-2 Home: Introduction

The goal of this site is to provide guidance and information regarding responsibilities for the integration of Human Factors (HF) within the FAA acquisition process for:

FAA program and systems engineering management

FAA Human Factors Coordinators

Members of user teams, as well as program management and HF specialists working for vendors contracted to conduct Research for Service Analysis or contracted to perform the work required of stages within the Acquisition Management System (AMS) process may find this information useful as well.

FAA Program and Systems Engineering Management. By reviewing sections of this site, FAA program and systems engineering management can gain insights for supporting HF in project planning, staffing and budgeting. They also can better understand the HF requirements that should be incorporated into the contracts for vendors performing the research and development associated with an acquisition.

FAA Human Factors Coordinators (FAA HFCs). The job of the FAA HFC is to monitor contractor HF performance and approve deliverables, as well as to directly provide HF expertise and input in order to assure effective integration of HF during the lifecycle of an acquisition. FAA HFCs can use this site to better understand their responsibilities and to access specific information (such as relevant FAA forms and guidance) in order to perform their jobs.
