Description
Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) is a method used by professionals to make human factors and resource design decisions. It involves breaking down goals and tasks into smaller sub-goals in order to create an effective plan for achieving the final aim. This book provides case studies and examples to demonstrate the applicability of HTA in various industries and contexts. It also discusses the general concepts of HTA and how it can be used, making it a useful resource for those interested in ergonomics and design.
Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) is carried out by professionals who have to undertake a wide range of human factors and human resource design decisions. Using a wide range of industries and contexts to demonstrate the applicability of HTA in various settings, the author has used straightforward and accessible case studies and examples for the reader. HTA is a method of defining goals and tasks for a particular job (using factors such as time, plant status, conditions, instructions and sequence) and then dividing each goal into 2sub-goals , each with its own plan, in order to produce the most effective method of achieving the final aim. The discussion of applications aims to reinforce general concepts of HTA as well as provide guidance on how HTA may be used. Review: I recommend this book to anyone interested in HTA - Ergonomics in Design
