HSI has emerged and is now recognized as a significant factor in systems engineering
within both the Science & Technology and Acquisition communities. This emergence
has been due to a number of factors such as:
- Increased emphasis on the cost of manpower
- Complex human-systems interfaces
- Complexity of the operating environment
- Maturity of the HSI profession
The HSI process allows you to address such things as affordability and total cost of ownership,
which are important factors when establishing capability needs.

Fulcrum’s HSI goals include optimizing total system performance and minimizing
the cost of ownership using a “total system approach”.
The Fulcrum HSI process is continuous throughout the System Life Cycle and ensures that the
human element will fulfill and improve your total system performance through continuous
collaborative analysis between S&T and Acquisition.

Fulcrum helps to bridge the Human Performance gap...
Fulcrum's HSI Domain Expertise
Manpower
Our proven Support Strategy relies on an
experienced and effective team that will help you
reduce Manpower requirements and bolster the
effectiveness of your program.
Risk Mitigation (applicable to all domains)
Fulcrum’s HSI strategy strives to identify and provide ways
to manage any HSI-related cost, schedule, or performance
issues that could negatively affect your program
implementation.
Training
Fulcrum’s support tools will help you correctly identify
major elements in your training plan including; logistics
support planning for training, training equipment and
training device acquisitions and installations.
Personnel
Fulcrum uses User-Centered Analysis to
analyze your program’s Target Audience Description (TAD),
early in the acquisition process. Profile and Persona creation
allow us to create a concrete characterization of targeted
user groups that in-turn guide the establishment of the
TADs knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs)
of the expected user population.
Human Factors
Fulcrum’s Human Factors Engineering (HFE) and
User-Centered analysis processes put the human
characteristics of the user population into the
system definition, design, development, and evaluation
processes to optimize human-machine performance for
both the operation and maintenance of the system.
Safety & Occupational Health
Fulcrum’s team of experienced and certified analysts will
work hard to evangelize system design characteristics
that minimize the potential for mishaps or threaten the
survival and/or operation of your system. We address
safety and health hazard parameters throughout the
life cycle of a system through intense
Health Hazard Analysis (HHA).
Developing the right HSI Strategy
The key to a successful HSI strategy is integration. By “bridging the gap” between the
S&T and Acquisition community, Fulcrum will help you integrate the different
HSI domains into both, the system requirements and the system platform.
