Welcome to the NEW Center for Operator Performance website!  This much anticipated upgrade will help members find and use the tools that have been developed over 17 years of COP-funded research.  Take a look around, spend some time and enjoy!  This is an ongoing project, so please let us know if there are any improvements you’d like to see, by completing the following form: COP Website Feedback.

The Center for Operator Performance will be hosting an informational booth at YNOW2024, the Yokogawa users conference in Houston, TX October 28th-30th.  Additionally, COP’s very own Dave Strobhar will be presenting a workshop about Human Factors in Control System / Display System Design, a topic near and dear to our hearts.  Visit https://www.ynowlive.com to learn more.

The COP Distillation Test is now ready for member use!  Find it on the “Distillation Test” tools page at https://centerforoperatorperformance.org/tools/distillation-test. This test was developed as a combined effort (https://centerforoperatorperformance.org/projects/knowledge-benchmarking-test) between COP subject matter experts and Dr. Beth Blickensderfer at Embry Riddle University.  Additionally, we’ll be discussing further ways to improve and use the test, including methods of delivery.
