Abstract
Even though, POD assessments of NDT techniques have been well demonstrated in various industrial sectors such as aviation, nuclear, oil and gas, railways, etc., they lack the inclusion of several influences as explained from the modular model. Influences due to intrinsic capabilities or due to application/environmental parameters can somehow be demonstrated under controlled laboratory and field inspection procedures. However, nowadays the biggest challenge lies in the inclusion of human factors and the organization context into the POD assessments and this can be mainly due to not being able to quantify the human factors. Hence, in the current work on accounting human factors influence on POD curves, the main idea is based on identifying majority of the human related tasks while carrying out the inspection procedures in terms of various statistical metrics. This topic on quantification of human factors is a part of the ongoing WIPANO project "normPOD", for the standardization of reliability assessment in Germany. This method of representation in terms of statistical metrics would enable holistic inclusion of human related influences in the form of the scatter parameters required for POD assessments. Efforts towards inclusion of these quantified human factor parameters into the POD assessments were shown by the adoption of Monte-Carlo approaches.
