  • Models for risk management of systems of systems

    Models for risk management of systems of systems

    This paper addresses the need for developing a body of prescriptive theory and methodology for modelling Systems of Systems (SoS). This will enable analysts to appropriately model and understand the SoS evolving behaviour due to the continued forced changes imposed on them. To place this need in historical perspective, the evolution of the field of systems engineering/analysis is briefly ...

However, the efficiency of a profit centre depends on its management's being able to influence factors that are crucial to the unit's financial results. Price hedging could be one such factor. In the wider ...

  • Risk management for water supply pipes

    Risk management for water supply pipes

    In this paper, the risk of water supply systems as a combination of hydraulic analyses (consequence) and failure probability of pipelines based on the actual condition is discussed. On the one hand, a stepwise closing of pipelines calculates the influence on customer's supply which represents the importance of a pipe. On the other hand, based on existing failure statistics, age and material ...

  • A risk management framework for the regulation of nanomaterials

    A risk management framework for the regulation of nanomaterials

    Nanotechnology promises a plethora of benefits to society. Early research has established that some types of nanomaterials may be highly toxic to living systems, while others are seemingly inert. Nanotoxicology is a new field that has become the focus for risk assessment and management of nanomaterials. To address the potential risks either current chemical and particulate material regulations ...

  • Risk-based asset integrity management

    Risk-based asset integrity management

    Within the area of management of process plant integrity, there has been a significant shift toward the adoption of risk-focused methods such as reliability centered maintenance (RCM) and risk based inspection (RBI), rather than following traditional preventative maintenance methods and prescriptive inspection intervals. There are various reasons for this trend, but the primary benefit that asset ...

  • Performance evaluation and risk management for industrial systems by using fuzzy controller

    Performance evaluation and risk management for industrial systems by using fuzzy controller

    In this work, we present a synthesis methodology of a multivariable fuzzy controller for the control of a multi-motor system (MMS) that can be intended for winding and unwinding controlled transport processes. The simulation results show that the integration of the fuzzy multivariable controller brought good performances compared to the multivariable PI-structure controller, and a clear ...
