Allocation heuristic approaches

In BS/EN/ISO 11064-1 2001 preliminary function allocations are performed using an overview approach comprised of four basic heuristics. Human factors best practice offers an extension to this approach in the form of Fitts List (Fitts, 1951). The expanded collection of heuristics is anchored around information-processing stages and the relative performance of humans or automation in performing them. Fitts List is shown in Table 7.4.
