Download or read book Quantitative Risk Assessment written by Terje Aven and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantitative risk assessments cannot eliminate risk, nor can they resolve tradeoffs. They can, however, guide principled risk management and reduction - if the quality of assessment is high and decision makers understand how to use it. This book builds a unifying scientific framework for discussing and evaluating the quality of risk assessments and whether they are fit for purpose. Uncertainty is a central topic. In practice, uncertainties about inputs are rarely reflected in assessments, with the result that many safety measures are considered unjustified. Other topics include the meaning of a probability, the use of probability models, the use of Bayesian ideas and techniques, and the use of risk assessment in a practical decision-making context. Written for professionals, as well as graduate students and researchers, the book assumes basic probability, statistics and risk assessment methods. Examples make concepts concrete, and three extended case studies show the scientific framework in action.
Download or read book Risk Assessment written by Marvin Rausand and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-06-12 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to risk assessment that utilizes key theory and state-of-the-art applications With its balanced coverage of theory and applications along with standards and regulations, Risk Assessment: Theory, Methods, and Applications serves as a comprehensive introduction to the topic. The book serves as a practical guide to current risk analysis and risk assessment, emphasizing the possibility of sudden, major accidents across various areas of practice from machinery and manufacturing processes to nuclear power plants and transportation systems. The author applies a uniform framework to the discussion of each method, setting forth clear objectives and descriptions, while also shedding light on applications, essential resources, and advantages and disadvantages. Following an introduction that provides an overview of risk assessment, the book is organized into two sections that outline key theory, methods, and applications. Introduction to Risk Assessment defines key concepts and details the steps of a thorough risk assessment along with the necessary quantitative risk measures. Chapters outline the overall risk assessment process, and a discussion of accident models and accident causation offers readers new insights into how and why accidents occur to help them make better assessments. Risk Assessment Methods and Applications carefully describes the most relevant methods for risk assessment, including preliminary hazard analysis, HAZOP, fault tree analysis, and event tree analysis. Here, each method is accompanied by a self-contained description as well as workflow diagrams and worksheets that illustrate the use of discussed techniques. Important problem areas in risk assessment, such as barriers and barrier analysis, human errors, and human reliability, are discussed along with uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. Each chapter concludes with a listing of resources for further study of the topic, and detailed appendices outline main results from probability and statistics, related formulas, and a listing of key terms used in risk assessment. A related website features problems that allow readers to test their comprehension of the presented material and supplemental slides to facilitate the learning process. Risk Assessment is an excellent book for courses on risk analysis and risk assessment at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It also serves as a valuable reference for engineers, researchers, consultants, and practitioners who use risk assessment techniques in their everyday work.

Download or read book Schedule Quantitative Risk Analysis Traditional Method colored Edition written by Rufran C. Frago and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the colored edition of the original book, this time printed on a slightly larger size of 5.5" x 8.5" especially intended for book readers who prefer illustrations in full colors. Schedule quantitative risk analysis (SQRA) is a process of calculating the overall probability or chance of completing a project on time and on budget. Quantification uses various approaches and methods. Duration ranging is the most popular one, and often referred to as the "traditional method" of schedule risk analysis. It is simple and easy to understand. New and upcoming project managers, leaders, planners and schedulers would love to wrap their heads around this special risk-based knowledge area and will enjoy reading this book. It is because one forgets that management tools only facilitate the route and provide the quick indicators. The analysis resides mainly under the responsibility of a qualified risk-based project management practitioner like you are. There's no claim whatsoever that the tool will do or can do everything upon command. Knowledge of the process and understanding of the reference benchmarks employed and how they were formulated are very important in addition to being tool-savvy.The tool is a vehicle to get you where you need to be, quicker and more accurate. One must use the tool to the "tool's right" for the project to succeed, to set it up properly for speedy and correct turnarounds less those manual errors. It was observed that some will pretend to know the quantitative tool and the processes involved, to the detriment of the company they worked in. There were some who slice and dice things that they really have no clear idea about. It's time for all practitioners to sharpen the saw, to know exactly what needs to be done, why they are doing what they are doing, and finally for the more qualified persons to perform what's rightfully their area, the expertise that of schedule quantitative risk assessment. Intellectual deceit and incompetence are not good. They are also bad combination. Ignorance is inexcusable and has to be treated with dedicated learning. As such, I promised myself about three years ago that I will write a book on traditional SQRA. I have done it the shortest and simplest way so everyone can understand. Through this book, you can learn at your own pace. Each Lesson uncovers certain aspect of risk analysis. It discusses fundamental knowledge in the tool (OPRA) and related risk-based processes. I want the readers to confidently embark on schedule quantitative risk analysis without apprehension, with the absence of doubt and anxiety because it is done properly. They are doing it right! Traditional method of quantification is also called the three-point estimating method by many risk management practitioners. It looks at risk events and estimate uncertainties using three values of a given quantity such as duration, quantity, and cost. Traditional method is applicable to cost risk analysis. It is excellent in capturing time-bound cost elements. The skills needed to perform SQRA has eluded many even as they try to learn how to effectively utilize the tool. Relying on bits and pieces of information without understanding the quantitative process is a major sticking point. It is my intention to address them, giving you, the readers, full understanding of the subject. Isn't that what you want? Of course you do!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Risk Analysis of Complex and Uncertain Systems acknowledged risk authority Tony Cox shows all risk practitioners how Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) can be used to improve risk management decisions and policies. It develops and illustrates QRA methods for complex and uncertain biological, engineering, and social systems – systems that have behaviors that are just too complex to be modeled accurately in detail with high confidence – and shows how they can be applied to applications including assessing and managing risks from chemical carcinogens, antibiotic resistance, mad cow disease, terrorist attacks, and accidental or deliberate failures in telecommunications network infrastructure. This book was written for a broad range of practitioners, including decision risk analysts, operations researchers and management scientists, quantitative policy analysts, economists, health and safety risk assessors, engineers, and modelers.
