Human factors (HFs) are a frequently mentioned topic when talking about the reliability of non-destructive testing (NDT). However, probability of detection (POD), the commonly used measure of NDT reliability, only looks at the technical capability of an NDT system to detect a defect.
After several decades of research on the influence of HFs on NDT reliability, there is still no commonly accepted approach to rendering HFs visible in reliability assessment. This paper provides an overview of possible quantitative and qualitative methods for integrating HFs into the reliability assessment. It is concluded that reliability assessment is best carried out using both quantifiable and non-quantifiable approaches to HFs.
Whereas human factors (HF) in the non-destructive testing (NDT) of metallic components are a poorly investigated topic (in comparison to other industrial fields such as aviation), HF in the inspection of concrete components are even less known. Studies have shown that there is always some variability between individuals in their inspection results and that HF affect the reliability of NDT inspections. The aim of the ongoing WIPANO project is to draft a standard for a holistic reliability assessment, with concrete inspection as one case study. This includes also the HF. A human-oriented Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was carried out to do the following: a) identify possible human-related risks in tunnel inspection processes using a laser scan method (including data collection,evaluation, and assessment of tunnel damage) and b) evaluate these human-related risks as regards their possible causes, consequences and probability of occurrence – in addition with respect to existing and possible preventive measures. The results show that the causes for possible failures can lie within people, the physical environment, technology, organisation, and extra-organisational environment. Whereas current preventive measures rely mostly on the individual and quality management practices, there is potential for even larger improvement at the organisational and extra-organisational level. The FMEA results were also used to develop a quantification method to further understand the HF in tunnel inspection, which could possibly be included in the information into the overall reliability assessment. The usage of qualitative and quantitative data collected through the human-FMEA within the proposed quantification method shows promise that HF can be quantified and could offer broader understanding of HF influences on inspection in various industries.
Visually detecting irregularities on components is a complex process, influenced by physical, technical, and human factors. Current standards mainly focus on illuminance, demanding highest accuracy for it, without providing scientific justification. In this research, 63 inspectors visually inspected forgings, with and without crack-like indications. The influence of illuminance on probability of detection was investigated. Therefore, illuminance was varied in three steps (200 lx, 350 lx, 500 lx). Human factors (e.g., experience, motivation) were recorded by using questionnaires. The results show no significant difference in probability of detection between the three illuminance levels. Equal probability of detection rates could be achieved at illuminances below and at the required threshold (500 lx). A difference in illuminance was found between the measurement point and the test area of the respective participant. This leads to higher assumed illuminance than present on the component. Compared with the measurement accuracy of the used illuminance meter, none of these deviations could be used to explain the similar results at different illuminance. The fact that illuminance has a significant influence in detecting indications has been disproven for this case. Whether human factors can provide explanation for the results remains unclear. This will be investigated in further research.
Häufig stellt sich die Frage, ob eine Materialinhomogenität kritisch für die strukturelle Integrität eines Bauteils ist. Dies ist häufig abhängig von der Größe und der Geometrie dieser Materialinhomogenität. Während die korrekte Bestimmung einer Defektgröße zweifelsfrei eine Messaufgabe darstellt, ist die Detektion eines Materialdefekts die Hauptaufgabe eines Prüfsystems. Allerdings sind manche Defekte zu klein, um detektiert zu werden. Es ist jedoch schwierig, etwas zu bemessen, was nur schwer gefunden werden kann, stellen sowohl die Detektion als auch die Fähigkeit den Defekt zu bemaßen, Teile der der Bewertung eines Prüfsystems dar. Die vorliegende Publikation beschäftigt sich zum einen mit der Notwendigkeit, die Auffindwahrscheinlichkeit von Prüfverfahren zu bewerten, und zum anderen mit den Schritten, mit denen das Konzept der Prüfunsicherheitsbewertung national und international vorangetrieben wird. Final werden die Methoden evaluiert, die den Schulterschluss zwischen Prüf- und Messunsicherheitsbestimmung ermöglichen. Ergänzt wird der Artikel mit Beispielen aus der Industrie, welche die aktuelle Relevanz des Themas untermauern.
That human factors (HF) affect the reliability of NDT is not novelty. Still, when it comes to reliability assessments, the role of people is often neglected. Reliability is typically expressed in terms of POD curves, and the effects of human and organisational factors on the inspection are typically tackled by the regulations, procedures and by the qualification and training of the inspection personnel. However, studies have shown that even the most experienced personnel can make mistakes and that the reliability in the field is never as high as the reliability measured in the POD experiments. Generally, HF are considered too unpredictable and too uncontrollable to model. If that is the fact, then what can we do? The engineering perspective to this problem has often been to find ways to automate inspections and, recently, to make use of artificial intelligence tools to decrease the direct effect of people on the inspection results and improve the overall efficiency and reliability. However, despite automation and AI, people remain the key players, though their tasks change. The contemporary approach to HF is not to engineer them out of the system but to design human-machine systems that make the best use of both. In this talk, ways of tackling HF in the design of systems and processes will be presented.
Seit 1999 existiert das MIL-HDBK 1823, die us-amerikanische Leitfaden zur Erstellung einer Probability of Detection (POD; Fehlerdetektionswahrscheinlichkeit). Obwohl das Dokument als internationaler Stand der Technik angesehen wird, ist die allgemeine Anwendung in der ZfP-Praxis von einigen Nachteilen begleitet:
1. Die beschriebenen POD‘s bilden ausschließlich die Grundlagen-POD ab, jeweils mit nur einem Fehlerparameter und einem Signalparameter. Modernere Ansätze werden hier nicht adressiert.
2. Die aktuelle Version verzichtet fast vollständig auf konkrete mathematische Formulierungen.
3. Die Richtlinie richtet sich hauptsächlich an die militärische Luftfahrt.
4. Das Dokument ist nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar.
Mit Hilfe eines BMWi-Förderprojekts wird ein weiterführendes Regelwerk auf Basis der MIL-HDBK 1823 unter deutscher Federführung erarbeitet, welches die Anwendung der POD-Berechnung auf eine breitere Basis stellt und die oben genannten Nachteile der MIL-HDBK 1823 behebt.
Das vorgestellte Projekt „normPOD“ wird eine normative, branchenübergreifend einsetzbare Beschreibung des Vorgehens bei der Berechnung einer POD zur Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung zerstörungsfreier Prüfungen entwickeln. Hierbei wird Klarheit über unterschiedliche POD-Ansätze geschaffen und anhand praktischer Beispiele aus Maschinenbau und Bauwesen ein Leitfaden für den Praxiseinsatz erarbeitet.
Das Poster gibt einen Überblick über die geplanten Arbeiten innerhalb des Projekts und lädt die Beteiligten der DGZfP-Jahrestagung zur Diskussion ein, um eine breite Basis und Akzeptanz für die entwickelten Berechnungsverfahren zu schaffen, insbesondere in Hinblick auf ZfP 4.0 und Digitalisierung.
The successful shift to NDE 4.0 will not only require developing and embracing new technologies associated with the fourth industrial revolution or becoming an integral part of the overall Industry 4.0, but also developing and adopting new ways of working. It is undoubtful that people will remain in charge of the inspections. However, it is arguable if the current “procedure-following” “level I-III” paradigm can withstand the changes that come along NDE 4.0. With the increased autonomy and interconnectedness expected with NDT 4.0, the majority of traditional NDE tasks will no longer be needed. Instead, different skills, such as that of programming and adapting systems, as well as problem solving, will become vital for the inspections. Therefore, we suggest that a new paradigm is needed—one in which inspector roles and, thus, also the requirements will have to be reinvented. We expect the inspectors to be relieved from the tedious and error prone aspects of the current system and to take responsibility for increasingly complex automated systems and work in closer collaboration with other experts. Thus, we propose that the traditional inspector roles will be transformed into that of the system developer, caretaker and problem solver, each requiring a specific set of skills and assuming different responsibilities. In this talk, we will present the new roles and discuss the challenges that may arise with them.

Im vorliegenden Artikel werden die Ergebnisse des Fragebogens der DGZfP zur Thematik „ZfP 4.0“ vorgestellt und diskutiert. Die Befragung zielte darauf ab, das allgemeine Verständnis der ZfP-Community zur Begrifflichkeit „ZfP 4.0“ herauszuarbeiten und daraus Bedarfe und Handlungsempfehlungen für die identifizierten Herausforderungen abzuleiten. Außerdem zeigt sich aus Sicht der Autor*innen, dass relevante Terminologien zu dem Themenkomplex Digitalisierung einer weiteren Klärung bedürfen, was im Bericht aufgegriffen wird. Im Ausblick zu den angelaufenen Arbeiten im nationalen Fachausschuss ZfP 4.0 und in den sich etablierenden internationalen Fachkreisen werden daraus abgeleitete Perspektiven für die Zukunftsgestaltung vorgestellt.
Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is entering an era of the fourth industrial revolution and will undergo a major transformation. NDE is a vital part of industry and a successful move to NDE 4.0, it will require not just developing and embracing new technologies, but also developing and adopting new ways of working and becoming an integral part of the overall Industry 4.0. This will pose new challenges for the inspection personnel. To ensure the expected benefits from NDE 4.0, inspectors need stay in charge of the changing inspections. The promised autonomy and interconnectedness of NDE 4.0 will supersede the majority of traditional inspector tasks and will in turn require a different set of skills and raise different demands and challenges for the inspection personnel, thus conflicting the current “procedure-following”-“level I-III” paradigm. The new industry 4.0 technologies can be integrated into the current framework, but exploiting their full potential requires changes in the role of the inspectors. The inspectors will be relieved from the tedious and error-prone aspects of the current system. At the same time, they will need to take responsibility for increasingly complex automated systems and work in closer collaboration with other experts. We propose that the traditional inspector roles will be transformed into that of the system developer, caretaker, and problem solver, each requiring a specific set of skills and assuming different responsibilities. For full NDE 4.0, NDE must abandon its traditional role as a self-contained entity with well-defined boundaries and take its role in the wider system that is the industry 4.0.
