New technologies, automated devices, and computerized systems have improved the overall productivity and efficiency of systems, nevertheless, have also brought new challenges to individuals and teams. The roles and goals of human within systems have transformed in various dimensions, which require new skills, competence and knowledge to cope with the complexity of modern systems. These skills are instilled (possibly) with training programs within each organization. Trainingand development activities allow organizations to improve adaptability, competence, profits, production, and safety. Even though the improvement in trainingsimulators in terms of their fidelity, technical details, computational powers, immersivity and the like have reached the state of art, nevertheless, little have been done in the evaluation of the training methods used in existing simulators. The project aims to investigate training methods and their effectiveness among the available trainingsimulators at Buskerud and Vestfold University College and Ruhr University Bochum. Maritimeand process industries share several similarities in terms of involve complexity, skills required, dynamic goal structure and optimization of various parameters for smooth and continuous operations. Therefore, investigating the trainingsimulators (both process andmaritime) in parallel with aim of identifying and systematically developing performance indicators will compliment the knowledge developed at each institution. It will result in a methodology that can be implemented in trainingsimulators to increase training effectiveness. Once an objective performance assessment methodology is developed and implemented in the trainingsimulators, it can generate large amount of data showing performance of operators/participants in the trainingsimulators (please see the attached project description for further details)
