Assurance Technologies Principles and Practices is basedon the assertion that safety is not a cost, but an excellentinvestment. According to the authors, more than sixty percent ofproblems in complex systems arise from incomplete, vague, andpoorly written specifications. In keeping with the authors passionfor safety, the text is dedicated to uniting the gamut ofdisciplines that are essential for effective design applyingassurance technology principles, including system safety,reliability, maintainability, human engineering, quality,logistics, software integrity, and system integration.
Readers familiar with the first edition of this text willrecognize all the hallmarks that have made it a classic in itsfield. The Second Edition features a host of new examples, methods,techniques, and best practices to bring the text fully up to datewith the state of the art in assurance technology.
Much new content has been added as well, including four newchapters:
Managing Safety-Related Risks
Statistical Concepts, Loss Analysis, and Safety-RelatedApplications
Models, Concepts, and Examples: Applying Scenario-Driven HazardAnalysis
Automation, Computer, and Software Complexities
The text begins with an introduction and overview of assurancetechnology. Next, readers are provided with fundamental statisticalconcepts. The chapters that follow explore in depth the approachesand disciplines that make up assurance technology applications.Each chapter is organized into major phases-design, manufacturing,test, and use phase-that help readers understand both how and whento apply particular measures.
Throughout the text, readers discover detailed examples thatprepare them to manage real-world challenges. References andfurther reading are provided at the end of each chapter leading tomore in-depth discussion on specialized topics.
With its extensive use of examples and highly structuredapproach, this is an excellent course book for students inindustrial engineering, systems engineering, risk engineering, andother assurance technology domains. Design and system engineers aswell as safety professionals will find the material essential introubleshooting complex projects and ensuring product, process, andsystem safety.
