Human System Integration Framework (HSIF) Activities to Support Human Readiness Levels (HRLs)

The Human Readiness Level (HRL) provides a scale to evaluate a system’s readiness for human use. While the HFES/ANSI-400 Standard defines the HRLs, it does not identify a process to generate the data for the HRL determination. It relies on an organization’s policies already in place to support the HRL assessment; however, many organizations do not have a formal Human System Integration (HSI) process. This paper provides practitioners an example of the appropriate data that can be used to address the criteria at each HRL level, based on a mapping of the HRLs to the Human System Integration Framework (HSIF).
