RELIABILITY-BASED DESIGN OF HUMAN PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS
USING FUZZY PERFECTION

Abstract. A method is proposed for selection of performance conditions that affect the human reliability without time-consuming calculation of the probability of human error. This method is based on the specially introduced concept of fuzzy perfection and theory of decision-making under fuzziness. It is shown that the proposed method can be used both independently and together with the well-known CREAM method of determining the reliability class based on cognitive assessments of human performance conditions.

Keywords: performance conditions, probability of human error, fuzzy logic inference, fuzzy perfection, intersection of fuzzy criteria.
