Building upon the content of the Acquisition Strategy Paper, human factors inputs to the IPP should be a detailed listing of the specific human factors tasks and activities that must be planned and executed to support the acquisition system design and development. This listing should include those tasks and activities to be performed by the government as well as by the contractor. The portion of the IPP may be documented as an Integrated Human Factors Plan (IHFP). The human factors tasks and activities should be consistent with the nature, size, and complexity of the system being acquired. The tasks and activities should ensure that the system design:
- Is influenced by the capabilities and limitations of the designated operators, maintainers, and support personnel.
- Provides the required level of human performance necessary to support the overall system performance objectives and requirements.
- Addresses human resource constraints as well as unique or specialized training requirements, staffing levels, or personnel skills.
- The scheduling of the human factors tasks and activities should be integrated with system engineering, test and evaluation, and key program milestones to ensure that the output products are available in a timely manner to support and influence the system design and development.
