N J Buchaca · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1981
This report describes the application of models and mockups as design aids in initially determining or improving control panel layouts and equipment/compartment arrangements to facilitate personnel and personnel/equipment interactions during system operations and maintenance. The report describes how these models and mockups (M&M) have been used, types of M&M and their applications in various phases of the design development cycle, and finally, a description of the use of M&M for man-machine design and design improvements. Three appendices are included in the report and contain: (1) Descriptions of NOSC M&M applications; (2) Examples of M&M specifications; and (3) An M&M characteristics checklist to aid in the preparation of M&M specifications.
