Unreliability is seen as combining three behavioural factors: acquisition related failure, problem solving related failure, and action related failure. The method is divided into four steps: the functional analyses, the context identification, the task state identification and the consequence analysis of the human unreliability. The functional analysis step aims at determining interactions between the requ
