Human Factors Integration (HFI)

Human Factors Integration (HFI) is a philosophy and set of management processes and tools that ensures human issues are identified, collated, shared and actioned effectively.  Actively managing human factors and planning how human issues will be shared and acted upon by other teams or disciplines (e.g. system engineering, logistics, software) has proven to be pivotal to the success of many projects.

Key Benefits of HFI HFI 'built-in' at the planning stage of a programme or project will ensure that human issues are managed correctly Properly managed HF issues will help ensure that resultant systems, products or environments are optimised for the people who will use them. HFI is mandatory on all UK MoD Projects Helps to ensure that the design is right first time - avoiding costly re-works. Plan-in adherence to key human factors standards.
