SYNOPSIS OF (~AL AUDIENCE DISCUSSION
Areas of Concern
loo ads of the space station provide different concerns for
eval~tir~ human prc~uctivit~r. Houselmepir~g activities may prove to be
an important candidate for pr~uctivit~r improvement in terms of
rec~cir~ Me aground of time required to perform these functions.
Another major component of the space station is the conduct of
scientific activities. Improving productivity related to space
research activities appear to be more difficult to measure. In
addition to 'on orbit' space station concerns, the integration of
groun5-control and on-boar] activities is a prime candidate for
productivity improvement studies.
Productivity Metrics
Several of the components related to human productivity in space will
be difficult to quantify. Consequently, the accuracy and viability of
these measures may be somewhat questionable at certain units of
analysis. This underscores the appropriate choice of the unit of
analysis. In addition, qualitative measures may need to be substituted
for quantitative measures In certain instan~--c.
Treasons T-=rned
Analysis of other isolated, long duration missions such as early
warning systems and sea lab may be useful in making assumptions and
generating initial models of key parameters related to productivity for
space-related missions. For example, isolations may be a catalyst to
trigger stress factors affecting productivity. Caution, needs to be
exercised in extrapolating from these analogs, because city
differences exist. Nonetheless, evaluation of these relate] systems
may be useful In isolating a common thread of critical variables
affecting human productivity.
