Abstract

In power plant maintenance, human factors play an important role because by improving the maintainability design of power plant systems, equipment, and facilities in regard to human factors helps to increase plant safety, availability, and productivity. In comparison to the aerospace industrial sector, interest in human factors-related issues in the power industrial sector is relatively new.
