Analysis of Adaptive Team Concept through Simulation Models: A Survey (toetsing van adaptieve teamconcepten door middel van simulatiemodellen: een verkenning)

摘要

In order to face-up to future mission challenges, the RNLN needs new dynamic organizations and ways of work on board future vessels. The aim of this project is to develop new team concepts. The concepts need to integrate and address the functions of the Command Information Center, Technical Center, and bridge. The team concepts need to be testes. For this purpose we developed an analytical framework that consists of five models: task model, crew model, organization model, resource model, and an environmental model. The primary goal of the simulation model is to determine, which organizational structures best fit the demands of different mission environments and how and when these changes are best effectuated. Based on literature on adaptive organizations and the design of effective and stress resistant organizations, we presented an overview of elements that a simulation environment should contain. The design model and the elements described will be applied in simulation runs that are planned for the next phase of the Human-system task integration program. For this purpose, a number of experiments have been formulated that seek answers on specific research questions.
