Establishing a central operation approval system in ship management companies based on a human reliability assessment model

This study aims at establishing a central approval mechanism in ship management companies to monitor the probable human errors along with the critical operations. The idea behind the paper is to control the dynamics of error producing conditions (EPC) parameters at shipboard platform. Since the human error reduction is a present great challenges of ship operator, the proposal concept has flexibility to cover the ship fleet in an advance user interfaces. The operation approval system is capable of increasing situation awareness in the probable causes leading to human errors. The proposed central operation approval system is an extension of the research project entitled "Human Reliability Analysis and Monitoring System Proposal in Shipboard Operations (H-RAMS)" (Project no: 114M352) supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Coucil of Turkey (TUBITAK).
