Action Error Analysis (AEA) focuses on how humans and machines interact. It helps us understand the possible outcomes of human errors when performing tasks that involve automated functions. AEA is quite similar to Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), but it looks specifically at human procedures instead of hardware parts. This method can be used to assess any automated system where humans work with machines, like pilots operating cockpit controls or technicians interacting with equipment. By categorizing these interactions, AEA plays a crucial role in safety management and overall operational efficiency.
