Despite the considerable development of electronic aids since then, many principles he developed continue to prove effective.

CRM in the US formally began with a [[National Transportation Safety Board]] (NTSB) recommendation written by NTSB Air Safety Investigator and aviation psychologist Alan Diehl<ref name="ReferenceA">"Air Crash Investigation: Focused on Failure", ''Discover Channel/National Geographic ''Program "Mayday"'' ''S12 E08</ref> during his investigation of the 1978 [[United Airlines Flight 173]] crash.

Retrieved 2007-03-27. Presentation to NASA Dryden Flight Research Facility staff.</ref>

The term "cockpit resource management"—which was later generalized to "crew resource management"—was coined in 1979 by NASA psychologist John Lauber, who for several years had studied communication processes in cockpits.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news |last=Langewiesche |first=William |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/business/2014/10/air-france-flight-447-crash |title=The Human Factor |date=October 2014 |work=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]] |access-date=2014-09-25}}</ref> While retaining a command hierarchy, the concept was intended to foster a less-authoritarian cockpit culture in which co-pilots are encouraged to question captains if they observed them making mistakes.<ref name=":1" />

CRM grew out of the 1977 [[Tenerife airport disaster]], in which two Boeing 747 aircraft collided on the runway, killing 583 people. A few weeks later, NASA held a workshop on the topic, endorsing this training.<ref name="NASA_Workshop_Info">Cooper, G. E., White, M. D., & Lauber, J. K. (Eds.) 1980.

==Overview==
{{More citations needed section|date=December 2021}}
The current generic term "crew resource management" (CRM) has been widely adopted but is also known as cockpit resource management; flightdeck resource management; and command, leadership and resource management. When CRM techniques are applied to other arenas, they are sometimes given unique labels, such as maintenance resource management, bridge and engine room resource management (BRM, ERM), or [[maritime resource management]].

CRM training encompasses a wide range of knowledge, skills, and attitudes including communications, situational awareness, problem solving, decision making, and teamwork; together with all the attendant sub-disciplines which each of these areas entails. CRM can be defined as a system that uses resources to promote safety within the workplace.

CRM is concerned with the cognitive and interpersonal skills needed to manage resources within an organized system rather than with the technical knowledge and skills required to operate equipment. In this context, cognitive skills are defined as the mental processes used for gaining and maintaining situational awareness, for solving problems and for making decisions. Interpersonal skills are regarded as communications and a range of behavioral activities associated with teamwork. In many operational systems, skill areas often overlap and are not confined to multi-crew craft or equipment, and relate to single operator equipment or craft.

Aviation organizations including major airlines and military aviation have introduced CRM training for crews. CRM training is now a mandated requirement for commercial pilots working under most regulatory bodies, including the [[FAA]] (US) and [[EASA]] (Europe). The [[NOTECHS]] system is used to evaluate non-technical skills. Following the lead of the commercial airline industry, the [[US Department of Defense]] began training its air crews in CRM in the mid 1980s.<ref>Diehl, Alan (November 5, 1992) "The Effectiveness of Civil and Military Cockpit Management Training Programs."

== Case studies ==

===United Airlines Flight 173===

When the crew of [[United Airlines Flight 173]] was making an approach to [[Portland International Airport]] on the evening of Dec 28, 1978, they experienced a landing gear abnormality. The captain decided to enter a holding pattern so they could troubleshoot the problem. The captain focused on the landing gear problem for an hour, ignoring repeated hints from the first officer and the flight engineer about their dwindling fuel supply, and only realized the situation when the engines began flaming out. The aircraft crash-landed in a suburb of Portland, Oregon, over {{Convert|6|mi|0|spell=in}} short of the runway. Of the 189 people aboard, two crew members and eight passengers died. The [[NTSB]] Air Safety Investigator Alan Diehl wrote in his report:

{{blockquote|Issue an operations bulletin to all air carrier operations inspectors directing them to urge their assigned operators to ensure that their flightcrews are indoctrinated in principles of flightdeck resource management, with particular emphasis on the merits of participative management for captains and assertiveness training for other cockpit crewmembers. (Class II, Priority Action) (X-79-17)<ref name="ReferenceA" />}}

Diehl<ref name="ReferenceA" /> was assigned to investigate this accident and realized it was similar to several other major airline accidents including the crash of [[Eastern Air Lines Flight 401]]<ref>NTSB report: Eastern Airlines, Inc, L-1011, N310EA, Miami, Florida, December 29, 1972, NTSB (report number AAR-73/14), June 14, 1973</ref> and the runway collision between [[Tenerife airport disaster|Pan Am and KLM Boeing 747s at Tenerife]].<ref>International Civil Aviation Organization, Circular 153-An/56, Mortreal, Canada, 1978)</ref>

=== United Airlines Flight 232 ===

[[Alfred C. Haynes|Captain Al Haynes]], pilot of [[United Airlines Flight 232]], credits CRM as being one of the factors that saved his own life, and many others, in the Sioux City, Iowa, crash of July 1989:

{{blockquote|&nbsp;... the preparation that paid off for the crew was something&nbsp;... called Cockpit Resource Management&nbsp;...  Up until 1980, we kind of worked on the concept that the captain was THE authority on the aircraft. What he said, goes. And we lost a few airplanes because of that. Sometimes the captain isn't as smart as we thought he was. And we would listen to him, and do what he said, and we wouldn't know what he's talking about. And we had 103 years of flying experience there in the cockpit, trying to get that airplane on the ground, not one minute of which we had actually practiced [under those failure conditions], any one of us. So why would I know more about getting that airplane on the ground under those conditions than the other three. So if I hadn't used [CRM], if we had not let everybody put their input in, it's a cinch we wouldn't have made it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://yarchive.net/air/airliners/dc10_sioux_city.html |title=The Crash of United Flight 232 |author=Capt.

=== Air France 447 ===

One analysis blames failure to follow proper CRM procedures as being a contributing factor that led to the 2009 fatal crash into the Atlantic Ocean of [[Air France Flight 447]] from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. The final report concluded the aircraft crashed after temporary inconsistencies between the airspeed measurements—likely due to the aircraft's [[pitot tube]]s being obstructed by ice crystals—caused the [[autopilot]] to disconnect, after which the crew reacted incorrectly, causing the aircraft to enter an aerodynamic stall from which it did not recover.<ref name=popmech>{{Cite web|url=https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/aviation/crashes/what-really-happened-aboard-air-france-447-6611877|title=What Really Happened Aboard Air France 447|first=Jeff|last=Wise|date=June 1, 2020|website=Popular Mechanics}}</ref>

Following recovery of the black box two years later, independent analyses were published before and after the official report was issued by the [[Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety|BEA]], France's air safety board. One was a French report in the book "Erreurs de Pilotage" written by Jean-Pierre Otelli,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lepoint.fr/societe/af447-pas-de-diffamation-pour-erreurs-de-pilotage-15-02-2012-1431836_23.php|title=AF447, pas de diffamation pour|first=Thierry|last=Vigoureux|date=February 15, 2012|website=Le Point}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.economist.com/gulliver/2011/10/14/a-controversial-look-at-the-crash-of-flight-447|title=A controversial look at the crash of flight 447|newspaper=The Economist|date=14 October 2011}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/8825264/Final-words-of-Air-France-passenger-jet-emerge-whats-happening.html|title=Final words of Air France passenger jet emerge: 'what's happening?'|first=Peter|last=Allen|date=October 13, 2011|via=www.telegraph.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/21/world/europe/when-disaster-threatens-instinct-can-be-a-pilots-enemy.html|title=When Disaster Threatens, Instinct Can Be a Pilot's Enemy|first=Nicola|last=Clark|newspaper=The New York Times|date=November 20, 2011}}</ref> which leaked the final minutes of recorded cockpit conversation. According to ''[[Popular Mechanics]]'', which examined the cockpit conversation just before the crash:
 
<blockquote>The men are utterly failing to engage in an important process known as crew resource management, or CRM. They are failing, essentially, to cooperate. It is not clear to either one of them who is responsible for what, and who is doing what.<ref name=popmech /></blockquote>

=== First Air Flight 6560 ===

The [[Canadian Transportation Safety Board]] (CTSB) determined a failure of crew resource management was largely responsible for the crash of [[First Air Flight 6560]], a [[Boeing 737-200]], in [[Resolute, Nunavut]], on August 20, 2011. A malfunctioning compass gave the crew an incorrect heading, although the [[instrument landing system]] and [[Global Positioning System]] indicated they were off course. The first officer made several attempts to indicate the problem to the captain but a failure to follow airline procedures and a lack of a standardized communication protocol to indicate a problem led to the captain dismissing the first officer's warnings. Both pilots were also overburdened with making preparations to land, resulting in neither being able to pay full attention to what was happening.

First Air increased the time dedicated to CRM in their training as a result of the accident, and the CTSB recommended regulatory bodies and airlines to standardize CRM procedures and training in Canada.<ref>{{cite web | title=First Air captain ignored co-pilot's warnings before Nunavut crash |publisher=CBC News | date=2013-10-03 | url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/first-air-captain-ignored-co-pilot-s-warnings-before-nunavut-crash-1.2584641 | access-date=2020-06-27}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nunatsiaq.com/stories/article/65674poor_training_miscommunication_and_a_simple_accident_lead_to_nunavuts_/|title=Poor training, miscommunication, simple accident led to 2011 Nunavut air disaster|agency=Nunatsiaq News|date=March 26, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aptnnews.ca/uncategorized/co-pilot-suggested-twice-change-course-deadly-first-air-flight-6560-crash-tsb/|title=Co-pilot suggested at least twice to change course before deadly First Air flight 6560 crash: TSB|agency=APTN National News|date=March 25, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2011/A11H0002/A11H0002.html|title=Aviation Investigation Report A11H0002|author=[[Transportation Safety Board of Canada]] |publisher=Government of Canada|date=March 5, 2014|website=www.tsb.gc.ca}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/combination-of-factors-blamed-for-fatal-resolute-bay-plane-crash/article17657641/|title=Combination of factors blamed for fatal Resolute Bay plane crash|newspaper=The Globe and Mail|date=25 March 2014|last1=Carlson|first1=Kathryn Blaze}}</ref>

==Adoption in other fields==
===Transportation===
The basic concepts and ideology of CRM have proven successful in other related fields. In the 1990s, several commercial aviation firms and international aviation safety agencies began expanding CRM into air traffic control, aircraft design, and aircraft maintenance. The aircraft maintenance section of this training expansion gained traction as ''[[maintenance resource management]]'' (MRM). To attempt to standardize industry-wide MRM training, the FAA issued Advisory Circular 120–72, "Maintenance Resource Management Training" in September 2000.<ref>FAA AC 120-72: http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/3e5ec461ecf6f5e886256b4300703ad1/$FILE/AC%20120-72.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100806010429/http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/3e5ec461ecf6f5e886256b4300703ad1/$FILE/AC%20120-72.pdf |date=August 6, 2010 }}</ref>

Following a study of aviation mishaps between 1992 and 2002, the [[United States Air Force]] determined that close to 18% of its aircraft mishaps were directly attributable to human error in maintenance,<ref>{{cite web |title=Air Force Safety Center |date=September 2000 |url=http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=153 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030624092721/http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=153 |archive-date=2003-06-24}}</ref> which often occurred long before the flight in which the problems were discovered. These "latent errors" include failures to follow published aircraft manuals, lack of assertive communication among maintenance technicians, poor supervision, and improper assembly practices. In 2005, to address these human-error-induced aircraft mishaps, Lt Col Doug Slocum, Chief of Safety at the [[Air National Guard]]'s (ANG) 162nd Fighter Wing, [[Tucson]], directed the modification of the base's CRM program into a military version called ''[[maintenance resource management]]'' (MRM).{{citation needed|date=January 2022|reason=BLP}}

In mid-2005, the Air National Guard's Aviation Safety Division converted Slocum's MRM program into a national program available to the Air National Guard's flying wings in 54 U.S. states and territories. In 2006, the Defense Safety Oversight Council (DSOC) of the [[United States Department of Defense|U.S. Department of Defense]] (DoD) recognized the mishap-prevention value of this maintenance safety program by partially funding a variant of ANG MRM for training throughout the U.S. Air Force. This ANG initiated, DoD-funded version of MRM became known as Air Force Maintenance Resource Management (AF-MRM) and is now widely used in the U.S. Air Force.<ref>Air Force MRM: {{cite web |title=Situational Awareness: The Ability to Maintain the Big Picture |publisher=U.S. Air Force Maintenance Resource Management |url=http://www.afmrm.org/ |access-date=2009-02-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630051923/http://www.afmrm.org/ |archive-date=2007-06-30 }}</ref>

The Rail Safety Regulators Panel of Australia has adapted CRM to rail as ''rail resource management'' and developed a free resource kit.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator |title=Rail resource management |url=https://www.onrsr.com.au/safety-essentials/safety-tools-and-resources/rail-resource-management |website=onrsr.com.au |access-date=27 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220312225201/https://www.onrsr.com.au/safety-essentials/safety-tools-and-resources/rail-resource-management |archive-date=12 March 2022 |date=7 September 2021}}</ref> Operating train crews at the [[National Railroad Passenger Corporation]] (Amtrak) in the United States are instructed on CRM principles during yearly training courses.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}

CRM has been adopted by merchant shipping worldwide. The [[STCW Convention]] and STCW Code, 2017 edition,<ref>STCW Including 2010 Manila Amendments, 2017 Edition. Published by the International Maritime Organization {{ISBN|9789280116359}} Pages 104 and 145</ref> published by the [[International Maritime Organization|I.M.O.]] states the requirements for ''bridge resource management'' and ''engine room resource management'' training. These are approved shore-based training, simulator training, or approved in-service experience. Most maritime colleges hold courses for deck and engine room officers. Refresher courses are held every five years. These are referred to as ''[[maritime resource management]]''.

===Firefighting===
Following its successful use in aviation training, CRM was identified as a potential safety improvement program for the fire services. Ted Putnam advocated for improved attention to human factors that contribute to accidents and near misses, building on CRM principles.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Bill |date=2004-12-07 |title=Leaders We Would Like to Meet: Interview with Ted Putnam |url=https://www.nwcg.gov/sites/default/files/wfldp/docs/ted-putnam.pdf |access-date=2023-04-22 |website=Wildland Fire Leadership Development Program}}</ref> In 1995, Dr. Putnam organized the first Human Factors Workshop for wildland fire.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Putnam |first=Ted |date=November 1995 |orig-year=Updated July 1996 |title=Findings from the Wildland Firefighters Human Factors Workshop. 9551-2855-MTDC |url=https://www.fs.usda.gov/t-d/pubs/pdfpubs/pdf95512855/pdf95512855pt01.pdf |access-date=2023-04-21 |website=Rocky Mountain Research Station, USDA-USFS}}</ref><ref name=":2" /> Dr. Putnam also wrote a paper that applied CRM concepts to the violent deaths of 14 [[Wildland]] firefighters on the [[South Canyon Fire]] in Colorado.{{citation needed|date=January 2022|reason=BLP}}

From this paper, a movement was initiated in the Wildland and Structural Fire Services to apply CRM concepts to emergency response situations. Various programs have since been developed to train emergency responders in these concepts and to help track breakdowns in these stressful environments.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}

The [[International Association of Fire Chiefs]] published its first CRM manual for the fire service in 2001. It is currently{{when|date=February 2021}} in its third edition.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.iafc.org/topics-and-tools/resources/resource/crew-resource-management|title=Crew Resource Management|website=www.iafc.org}}</ref> Several industry-specific textbooks have also been published.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}

===Healthcare===
Elements of CRM have been applied in US healthcare since the late 1990s, specifically in infection prevention.
For example, the "central line bundle" of best practices recommends using a checklist when inserting a [[central venous catheter]]. The observer checking off the checklist is usually lower-ranking than the person inserting the catheter. The observer is encouraged to communicate when elements of the bundle are not executed; for example if a breach in sterility has occurred.<ref>Institute for Healthcare improvement.
