Optimizing Resource Allocation and Traceability in Human-Centered Design (HCD)

Abstract: This study builds on previous work conducted by the researcher using a model-based framework to implement systems engineering (SE) practices and processes into a digital environment. Findings of a human-centric design (HCD) approach to system development include the optimization of resource allocation. By focusing on individual capabilities, transparency is built and employees are positioned for success. Upon incorporating these aspects, the results are anticipated to be increased traceability throughout the operational lifecycle to improve overall project management (PM). This paper builds on the findings of initial efforts to include additional model elements and the relationships between them using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF). Results will then be assessed for applicability to actual SE processes in a digital environment.

Keywords: systems engineering, MBSE, human-centric design, human-systems integration, unified architecture framework
