Prerequisite: IM21008 Work System Design Introduction to Knowledgeable Work System Modeling: Knowledgeable work system and its components, work system performance measurement, contribution of work system components to the overall objectives of the system, essence of work system modeling and its usefulness, concept of interactions and joint optimization.Sampling Methods for Measurement of Work System Performance: Probability sampling; non-probability sampling; stratified sampling; activity sampling â procedures, data collection and analysis; sequential Bayesian work sampling â beta distribution, Bayesian confidence intervals, Baye s theorem, Bayesian work sampling study; Poisson activity sampling. Modeling Human Component: Measurement of human performance, predicting human performance, cognitive modeling, measurement of learning and forgetting, learning curve models, forgetting curves, decision theory â classical theory and Bayesian theory.Modeling and Analysis of Human-MachineWorkplace Interaction: Task analysis, hierarchical task analysis, human error classification and analysis, human-computer interaction, ACT-R model, information visualization, human-motion simulation using JACK.Modeling and Analysis of Organizational Support: Macroergonomics, organizational structure, socio-technical systems theory (STS), joint optimization, and use of STS in developing decision support system, motivation theory and stress modeling.
