Measuring And Understanding Cognitive Overload And Human Error

Overview

Human error is known to be the major cause of quality and production losses in many industries. Although it is unlikely that human error will ever be totally eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human errors start at the design stage. Procedures play a vital role in human reliability. Nevertheless, it is really important to understand human behavior and the psychology of error as well as understand exactly where the instructions weaknesses are, so procedures can be human engineered, improved and/or fixed. 

This human error assessment and reduction technique webinar offers practical approaches to address writing rules to reduce the likelihood of procedures.

Why Should You Attend

Cognition overload is usually linked with attention and memory failures. Mistakes and decision making troubles can be identified and reduced. During the live session, our expert will walk you through the types of human error, the classification of human error, human error reduction initiatives, relationship between cognitive load and human error, and more. The knowledge gained can be applied to risk evaluation, root cause analysis and CAPA development.
