Narrative:
I was the PNF during the below mentioned incident. We were on arrival routing into the cle hopkins airport. I was very busy with in-range calls, maintenance calls, (APU inoperative), flight attendants requests, etc. My first officer was flying and as he crossed tiverton VOR, he proceeded direct to the dryer VOR, instead of flying the published STAR! I noticed the error about the same time cle approach did, and they gave us a heading to rejoin the STAR. This could have been prevented by my better use of cockpit resource management -- I should not have overloaded myself to the point that I took myself out of the flying loop.

Narrative: I WAS THE PNF DURING THE BELOW MENTIONED INCIDENT. WE WERE ON ARR ROUTING INTO THE CLE HOPKINS ARPT. I WAS VERY BUSY WITH IN-RANGE CALLS, MAINT CALLS, (APU INOP), FLT ATTENDANTS REQUESTS, ETC. MY FO WAS FLYING AND AS HE CROSSED TIVERTON VOR, HE PROCEEDED DIRECT TO THE DRYER VOR, INSTEAD OF FLYING THE PUBLISHED STAR! I NOTICED THE ERROR ABOUT THE SAME TIME CLE APCH DID, AND THEY GAVE US A HDG TO REJOIN THE STAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY MY BETTER USE OF COCKPIT RESOURCE MGMNT -- I SHOULD NOT HAVE OVERLOADED MYSELF TO THE POINT THAT I TOOK MYSELF OUT OF THE FLYING LOOP.
