Gramopadhye, Anand, Kimbler, Delbert, Kimbler, Elisabeth, Bhagwat, Sameer and Rao, Pradeep (1995): Application of Advanced Technology to Training for Visual Inspection. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 1299-1303.

“Automation in the manufacturing industry has changed the nature of tasks from ones having large motor components to ones that have significant cognitive components. For example, several complex inspection tasks which exist in modern industry involve significant cognitive, decision making and recognition skills. Often workers are not adequately equipped to perform these tasks imposed by the new manufacturing environment. Thus, while the demands of modern manufacturing may be increasing, workers' skills on the shop floor may in fact be diminishing. Training is the natural response to close this gap between task demands and worker skills. This paper reviews the principles of training and deduces their relevance to training for visual inspection. An example of use of these principles in developing a computer-based training program for visual inspection is given. Finally, the paper reports a study to support the application of advanced technology to visual inspection training for contact lens inspection.”
