The paper introduces a methodology which provides conceptual tools for the
analysis of decision-making in the control of complex dynamic processes. Th
e teals are based an theoretical concepts which describe derision-making as
a systemic interaction between the operators and the process. This interac
tion is conceptualized in order to be able to evaluate operators' habits of
action in decision-making and in collaboration. The habits of action are e
xpected to contribute to the situational adaptability of process control ac
tions. The methodology can be applied to different contexts of process cont
rol. A training method, developed for the simulator training of a nuclear p
ower plant, is introduced as an application.
