THERP

THERP (Technique for Human Error Rate Prediction) is a modeling method used to estimate the likelihood of human errors in complex systems, especially in safety-critical industries like nuclear and aviation. It analyzes tasks, procedures, and conditions to identify where mistakes might happen, and assigns a probability to these errors. By understanding these risks, engineers can improve designs, procedures, and training to reduce the chance of human failure, enhancing overall safety and reliability of operations.
