✦ Synopsis
The problems of defining, analyzing and improving human capabilities in quality control have received considerable attention in the last two years. This symposium brought together experts on Human Factors in Quality Control from Europe and the USA who covered both industrial applications and theoretica~ research. The primary aJ a o~ the symposium was to review and collate the results which have been obtained in a variety of industries and research laboratories, but which have tmtfl now been published in widely diverse journals. A secondary aim was to outline future directions for research and attempt to co-ordinate this throughout Europe and the USA. Eighteen speakers made presentations during three days: the first day being devoted to industrial applications, the second day to theoretical models of human performance, and the third day to methods of improving inspection performance.
